The questions that organise our work — from disease mechanisms and biomarker
discovery to protein function and crop improvement.
Core Research Themes
Disease Mechanisms and Biomarker Discovery
Identification of genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic signatures associated with specific diseases (e.g., cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, infectious diseases).
Discovery and validation of novel biomarkers for early detection, diagnosis, prognosis, or therapeutic response.
Functional characterization of disease-associated genes and proteins using cellular and animal models.
Personalized medicine approaches based on individual omics profiles.
Protein Function and Post-Translational Modifications (PTMs)
Comprehensive mapping and characterization of protein interactomes (protein-protein interactions).
Analysis of various PTMs (e.g., phosphorylation, ubiquitination, glycosylation, acetylation) and their impact on protein function, stability, and localization.
Development of advanced proteomic techniques for quantitative PTM analysis.
Understanding how PTMs regulate cellular processes and contribute to disease.
Interdisciplinary and Applied Themes
Plant Functional Genomics and Crop Improvement
Identification of genes and proteins involved in plant stress responses (e.g., drought, salinity, pathogens).
