Our research is focused on elucidating the molecular mechanisms and regulation of protein synthesis (translation) in human cells and the integrated stress response (ISR). Dysregulated ISR is a causative factor in Alzheimer’s Disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. Specific areas of interest include: the architecture of the translation initiation complexes; the coordination between translation initiation and […]
