Job description

Proteins, the molecular machines of the cell! How they work, who they work with and what they look like; this is what I am interested in. To answer these questions I am using a wide array of molecular biology techniques. Here at MarBio, my work revolves around protein kinases which are involved in the regulation of multiple signalling pathways in the cell. Mutations or deregulation of specific kinases can result in cancer and other disorders, hence the importance to study them and find ways to slow them down when they are spiralling out of control.
