Research Interests:
Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases (PTPs) in Growth and Development.
The net cellular level of tyrosine phosphorylation is regulated by the intrinsic and opposing activities of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). Protein tyrosine phosphorylation mediates numerous fundamental physiological events such as cell growth, differentiation, cell movement and cell death. Our laboratory is interested in how PTPs participate in the regulation of these cellular processes. In order to decipher how PTPs regulate mammalian cell signaling we use a broad range of approaches from molecular biology to mouse genetic strategies. Elucidating how PTPs integrate into the signal transduction network in the control of mammalian cell signaling will extend our understanding of the role played by protein tyrosine phosphorylation in normal and abnormal cellular physiology.
