Protein Quality Control at Cellular Membranes
Our lab focuses on the mechanisms that cells use to recognize and dispose of misfolded proteins within their organelles. These processes are remarkably conserved among eukaryotes and we use Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model system because of its simplicity relative to "higher" eukaryotes.Selected Publications

Congratulations to Dr. Brian Peterson! The first PhD from the lab!
Basila’s preprint is available!
Congratulations on this elegant reconstitution – in collaboration with her joint mentor Kaushik Ragunathan (@Brandeis University) https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.06.20.545802v1
Rachel+Jiwon and Devon’s preprint is available!
This is an exciting discovery reporting on the first ER-localized degrons. (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.06.21.546000v1)
Brian’s (and Jiwon+Jenn) preprint is out!
This is an amazing body of work congratulations! https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.04.03.535444v1
Congratulations to Evan!
Evan earned his MSc in Biological Chemistry.
Jiwon’s publication is out! Congratulations to her and Brian!

Too many things stuck together (v3… Jenn and Jeremy were both selected for NIH training grants!)
Jenn Russ was selected for the GTP (a highly competitive Genetics Training Program T32 training grant)!
Jeremy Dortch was selected for the PSTP (a highly competitive Pharmacological Sciences Training Program T32 training grant)!
An important honor for amazing students.
