We are interested in understanding how trafficking and quality control processes in the secretory pathway regulate cell signaling during disease. We have a particular interest in the interplay between metabolism, inflammation and growth control of cancer cell in mammals. My lab uses a combination of cellular biochemistry and organismal physiology in our studies.
