Project title
"Comprehensive characterization of the integrated networks that regulate protein homeostasis within the mammalian endoplasmic reticulum"

Dr. Adamson [HHMI Fellow] is using large-scale genetic approaches to map the regulatory networks responsible for maintaining molecular equilibria inside human cells. An important question in cancer research is how cancer cells adapt to abnormal growth environments and proliferate under stress. Systematic characterization of the processes that maintain these equilibria will be critical for better understanding cancer formation and growth.
