I’m pursuing my PhD on regulation of the kinase Braf by 14-3-3 proteins. I’m interested in investigating Braf and its role in human cancer.

 

 

 

Claudia Rodriguez
Graduate student
I’m interested in understanding how Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors (FGFRs) signal to their adaptor proteins to activate the MAP Kinase pathway. My favorite piece of laboratory equipment to use is our confocal microscope to take beautiful, fluorescent worm pictures.
