Title: Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Pharmacology of the Ubiquitin System
Abstract: Our research program aims to provide critical insights onto physiological functions of the ubiquitin system; one of the most complex and enigmatic systems known to date.
As of today we know that approximately 800 enzymes regulate the dynamic ubiquitination of 19,000 protein substrates thus representing a vast and unexplored area of the human druggable genome.
