Carson Lab
Our lab focuses on localization and translation of RNA molecules in ribonucleoprotein complexes called RNA granules, which are affected in neurological disorders such as fragile X tremor ataxia syndrome.
Research in the Molecular Biology and Biophysics department focuses on understanding the proteins and pathways affected in human disease. From the structural biology of cancer drug targets to the mechanistic interplay between viruses and human cells, MBB labs study the basic molecular processes underlying human illnesses.
Our department can be divided into five thematic areas:
