A proteomics and protein engineering research laboratory with specialized interest in Degradomics of the Protease Web. We focus on developing new quantitative proteomic techniques to identify and understand the protease degradome (specifically the Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors, TIMPs, and the deubiquitinylating proteases, DUBs), and their substrates, the substrate degradome, in normal cells and in disease. Therefore we have active research projects in the cancer degradome, in the role of MMPs in controlling the chemokine web and innate immunity, and in HIV infection.
