Research Interests

My research group is interested in understanding how humans and other organisms maintain homeostasis of the essential, yet reactive, transition metal copper. Our work uses biochemical, molecular and cell biological methods in projects that range from study of basic biochemical and cellular mechanisms to clinical studies. In mammals, the liver is the central organ responsible for management of copper levels. We use animal models of copper toxicity and deficiency to investigate the consequences of copper dyshomeostasis and the molecular underpinnings of associated liver diseases such as Wilson Disease and non-alcoholic fatty-liver disease. Emerging clinical collaborations aim to understand the relationship between copper levels, transition metal balance and end-stage liver disease.

Our basic science work uses copper handling machinery as an entry point to understand how cells maintain vesicular transport fidelity. This work uses biophysical, biochemical and cell biology methods to determine how regulatory proteins and transmembrane proteins interact with signaling lipids.

The research group includes graduate students, undergraduate students and technicians who are interested in a variety of academic and professional careers. We collaborate with researchers in the United States and abroad and welcome opportunities to interact with the broader scientific community. Our goals are to contribute to scientific knowledge that is important to the global community, create contemporary research opportunities for students at the 做爱色情片, and support a bioscience curriculum that is directly connected to research. Research group members have gone on to graduate science programs at 做爱色情片 and other universities, medical school, professional schools and industry
