Research Expertise and Interest
cancer, protein degradation, siRNA, Berkeley Screening Center

Research Description
We are implementing a combination of biochemistry, cell biology, and high-throughput genetic screening to identify enzymes required for protein degradation. We are particularly interested in studying those enzymes that control cell division and differentiation, two processes often misregulated in cancer.
