Nanoparticles as potential therapeutic vesicles to modify axonal transport defects: the Gunawardena Lab explores the potential use of a novel nanoparticle as a therapeutic vesicle for directed targeting to neurons. Diagram courtesy Gunawardena Lab.
Focus on the regulation of protein expression, from transcription to translation to post-translational modification
The Cell and Molecular faculty explore how genetic information is encoded in genomes and how it is interpreted to produce functional proteins. The research interests of the faculty focus on the regulation of transcription, translation, splicing, and post-translational modifications.
Faculty in this research area include Drs. James Berry, Paul Cullen, Denise Ferkey, Shermali Gunawardena, Gerald Koudelka, Laura Rusche, Eric Strobel, and, Michael Yu.
