This project investigates the regulation of protein synthesis in mammalian cells, focusing on the mTOR signaling pathway and its role in diseases like cancer and heart disease. It aims to enhance understanding of how protein synthesis is controlled and its implications for drug production and disease treatment.
Protein synthesis is a key process in living cells, being required for cells to grow, divide, and respond to changing conditions, as well as being critical in gene expression.
However, protein synthesis in an expensive process, using a great of energy and amino acids.
It is therefore tightly controlled.
This involves the regulation, by phosphorylation, of proteins involved in protein synthesis (‘translation factors’) and mRNA-binding proteins.
My laboratory studies the roles of these proteins an…
