Research Overview
The Lab for Metabolic Signaling studies the control of metabolic homeostasis through kinase signaling networks converging on the metabolic master regulator mTOR (mammalian / mechanistic target of rapamycin) in health and disease. We adopt biochemistry, cell biology, proteomics, metabolomics and systems modelling approaches.
