研究领域
The Wells Lab is interested in designing proteins and small molecules that trigger cellular processes, in order to better understand and treat cancer and inflammation. Our research spans the multiple disciplines of chemical biology, biophysics, cell biology, molecular biology, enzymology, and proteomics. Our passion is to identify, activate, and inhibit critical signaling nodes to better understand how these drive responses such as cell death and differentiation.
