Associate Professor of Biochemistry

The Boyce Lab studies cell signaling through protein glycosylation, the most abundant post-translational modification in nature. Current projects are focused on two specific areas: 1) Roles of the reversible, intracellular, monosaccharide modification O-GlcNAc in regulating cytoskeletal dynamics, secretory pathway trafficking and ubiquitin E3 ligases, and 2) The impact of enzymatic regulation of nucleotide-sugar pools on extracellular O-glycosylation in vivo.
