Our lab is investigating how a variety of life processes are coordinated with metabolism and the metabolic state of the cell. These include gene expression, protein translation, epigenetics, autophagy, and mitochondrial homeostasis. Elucidation of these mechanisms promises to reveal innovative therapeutic strategies for treating cancer and neurodegenerative conditions.
