Scientific Interest When the unfolded protein response (UPR) is activated, global synthesis of proteins is shut down to stem the flux of new proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). However, during this shut down, a subset of proteins is instead preferentially translated. I am interested in studying the mechanisms by which preferential translation is achieved, … Read more

Scientific Interest I am a joint student between the Walter and Douglas labs. I am interested in exploring applications of DNA nanotechnology in structural studies of proteins in the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR). Current Research Interests (1) Defining oligomeric state of IRE1 using DNA origami. (2) Structural studies of the UPR effector Hac1 with electron … Read more

Scientific Interest Regulation of protein quality control Current Research Interests I am studying how ATF6, one of the branches of the mammalian UPR and an ER tethered transcription factor, is regulated under ER stress.
