Her research is at the interface between bioimaging and proteomics, and aims to define the spatiotemporal
organization of the human proteome at a subcellular level in an effort to
understand how variations and deviations in localization contribute to
cellular function as well as disease.
The goal of the NIH program, as described on its website, is «to
understand the principles behind the three - dimensional
organization of the nucleus in space and time (the fourth dimension), the role nuclear
organization plays in gene expression and
cellular function, and how changes in the nuclear
organization affect normal development as well as various diseases.»
Their observation provides a better
understanding of cytoskeletal self -
organization in general, which may in turn lead to better drug design and new materials that can mimic
cellular behaviors.
The answer to this daunting biological riddle is central to
understanding how the three - dimensional
organization of DNA in the nucleus influences our biology, from how our genome orchestrates our
cellular activity to how genes are passed from parents to children.
To
understand the whole
cellular organization, it is necessary to identify, quantify and characterize proteins and their relationships within functional networks, which is affordable by combining efficient separation strategies and bioanalytical methods showing a high resolving power, accuracy and sensitivity.
