Research Description
Michael’s work aims to bridge computational/ theoretical science and wet lab science. His current research focus is on integrating datasets from multiple investigative approaches: proteomics, metabolomics, genomics, etc. to understand the mechanisms and biological function of reversible protein modifications involved in modulating signal transduction, chromatin dynamics and metabolism.
