Research summary
AI-generated

Laura M. Chamness studies how proteins are made inside cells and how they fold into their correct shapes, with particular attention to membrane proteins such as G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and potassium channels. Her work explores how the genetic code (codon usage) and specific mutations affect whether these proteins are correctly built and transported, including cases where errors lead to disease. She combines large-scale experimental screening with computational and deep-learning approaches to map these processes.
