Research summary
AI-generated

Kedric L. Milholland's research focuses on Cdc14 phosphatases, a family of enzymes that remove phosphate groups from proteins to regulate cell division and other cellular processes, studied across organisms including yeast, the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena, fungal pathogens like Candida, and humans. The work combines structural and mechanistic biochemistry with the development of chemical tools, including new enzyme inhibitors and genetic techniques for controlling protein levels in cells. This research could interest students curious about molecular mechanisms of cell division, enzyme regulation, drug discovery targeting phosphatases, or antifungal research strategies.
