Section on Protein Biogenesis

Head: Ramanujan S. Hegde

The Hegde lab seeks to understand the synthesis, maturation, sorting, and metabolism of secretory and membrane proteins. This class of proteins is essential to all intercellular and most intracellular communication, and their precise locations and abundances are tightly regulated to maintain normal organismal physiology. Indeed, the majority of current drug targets affect secreted and membrane proteins, underscoring their central role in human biology.
