Biography

My interest is in using proteomics approaches to advance our understanding of both basic and disease biology. Of particular interest to me is the study of protein-protein interactions/complexes and post-translational modification signaling in the context of infection and neurodegeneration.

My lab at UCSF is encompassed within the larger lab of Nevan Krogan. This provides scientists the best of both worlds - access to big-lab support and resources, but with strong small-lab mentorship. Additionally, I manage the proteomics facility at both the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences, and at the Gladstone Institutes, where I am a visiting scientist.
