Dodge-Kafka Lab
We investigate the mechanisms utilized by scaffolding proteins to create specificity of phosphorylation. Our work encompasses many domains including enzyme kinetics, live cell imaging, cellular physiology, and computation modeling.
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:
