Research Interests
In my current research at the Institute for Systems Biology, I have been developing approaches to study the composition and
topology of cellular signaling networks. I use genome-wide functional genomics, in combination with mass spectrometry-based,
global proteomic approach to study the regulators and targets of the reversible phosphorylation system.
Using these techniques, in combination with data integration and network visualization, I have developed a preliminary
model of the network architecture for the signaling network governing responses to fatty acids. My current research program
is building on my novel findings. I am using these powerful, systems level approaches to study the information flow within
the signaling network, including crosstalk with other signaling pathways, and develops a temporally and spatially
resolved model with predictive value.
