Research Summary

We study how animals maintain physiological homeostasis in stressful environments. Our research is currently focused on understanding the role of hydrogen sulfide signaling in cellular homeostasis. We have also discovered a new epigenetic “memory” of hydrogen sulfide, which is the focus of one projecxt. We are also interested in defining molecular and genetic pathways that mediate adaptive responses to low oxygen (hypoxia), and how they are modulated by sulfide. We are particularly interested in how the response to hypoxia impacts cellular proteostasis.
