Walter Lab at UCSF

March 15, 2015 By wlabdemo

The Walter Lab welcomes students, postdocs, and visiting scholars regardless of race, religion, gender identification, sexual orientation, age, or disability status. We believe that excellence and diversity are intrinsically linked.

Our laboratory seeks a molecular understanding of how cells control the quality of their proteins and organelles during homeostasis and stress. We are identifying the machinery and mechanisms that ensure proper protein synthesis, folding, and targeting, as well as the pathways that allow organelles to communicate and regulate their abundance. Additionally, we aim to understand how the rewiring of these processes leads to or prevents the progression of disease. Our laboratory uses a diverse array of techniques, ranging from biochemical reconstitution to genetics, to fuel our search for fundamental discoveries in cell biology.
