Teresa L. Mastracci studies how the pancreas develops and functions, with particular focus on the cells that produce insulin (beta cells) and their role in diabetes. A major thread of her work examines polyamines and a protein-modification pathway (involving the enzyme deoxyhypusine synthase and the factor eIF5A) that controls how cells make proteins, linking this to both pancreatic biology and rare genetic disorders affecting neural development.
