Research Area:

My research program will focus on the development and application of multi-disciplinary tools in chemoproteomics, biochemistry, bioinformatics and computational structure biology to 1) uncover novel amino acid sites in enzymes that are post-translationally regulated by endogenous reactive metabolites when cells are under oxidative stress or targeted by specific drug molecules 2) interrogate the underlying molecular mechanisms by which these modifications regulate protein function to perturb key signaling pathways in cells and 3) develop modeling tools to investigate protein-small molecule interactions, These studies have the great potential to provide penetrating mechanistic insights into the molecular basis for numerous diseases functionally linked to oxidative stress, including inflammation, cancer, and metabolic disorders, as well as to integrate and streamline efforts in inhibitor discovery, drug design and the functional annotation of uncharacterized enzymes in the post-genomic era.
