Signal Transduction: How Proteins ‘Know’ What to Do
How do proteins ‘know’ what a cell requires of them? This enigmatic knowledge lies in a microscopic relay race inside our cells, called signal transduction. Effectively working as a molecular baton pass, signal transduction starts with a protein that binds to a...
The Pollock lab utilizes chemical biology techniques, biochemical methods, and organic synthesis to understand breast cancer and inflammatory disease development and progression. In particular, we are interested in nuclear receptor function, phosphorylation signaling pathways, design of prodrugs, and the link between cancer and inflammation. We have a lot of collaborators on and off campus so we can expand our scientific discoveries.
