Dr. Eva Ge's research focuses on understanding how a protein called CCS (Copper Chaperone for Superoxide Dismutase) regulates copper levels in cells. This is important because too much or too little copper can lead to serious diseases like cancer and neurodegeneration. The lab employs various techniques to study how the phosphorylation of CCS affects its ability to manage copper and maintain cellular health. By investigating these mechanisms, the lab aims to discover new treatments for diseases associated with copper imbalance.
