Recently, arri­ved from Prof. Gorg’s Pro­teo­mics lab, I joi­ned the group to further cha­rac­te­rize the com­po­si­tion of the 26S pro­tea­some in car­diac cells. For accom­plish­ment of this task, I employ various elec­tropho­re­tic and mass spec­tro­me­tric approaches. In gene­ral, my inte­rests are in stress res­ponse and pro­tein degra­da­tion in pro­kar­yo­tes and eukaryotes.
