Research summary

This researcher studies proteins embedded in cell membranes that move drugs across cell barriers or process other proteins, including the transporters P-glycoprotein and ABCG2 (which pump drugs out of cells and affect drug resistance in cancer and drug penetration into the brain) and enzymes like Ste24/ZMPSTE24 (which cut and chemically modify precursor proteins, relevant to aging-related diseases). The work combines biochemistry, peptide chemistry, and enzyme assays to understand how these proteins recognize and act on their substrates, with implications for drug design and disease mechanisms.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade, with a peak in 2019 and 2023 and a lower, uneven pace in other years, averaging under two publications per year over the last five years.
