Our lab investigates the underlying mechanisms by which gene expression is regulated at the transcriptional and translational levels in response to stress. We are also very interested in understanding how the small protein modifier ubiquitin controls protein synthesis and degradation during stress, which when dysregulated, can be the causation of several neurodegenerative diseases. Our lab uses an array of cellular and molecular biology tools, proteomics, structural biology, and next generation sequencing to tackle these questions.
