Interests

Inflammation, Metabolism, Cancer, Cell Signaling, Physiology, Membrane Trafficking, Quality Control in the Endoplasmic Reticulum

Research Statement

My lab is interested in understanding how trafficking and quality control processes in the secretory pathway regulate cell signaling during disease. We have a particular interest in the interplay between metabolism, inflammation and growth control in mammals. My lab uses a combination of cellular biochemistry and organismal physiology in our studies.
