Welcome
Our lab is interested in the mechanisms that control cell growth and proliferation, and in understanding how these pathways are disrupted in cancer cells. We study how transcription, phosphorylation and protein degradation contribute to the regulatory network that controls the eukaryotic cell cycle.
