Protein Modification and Disease Dynamics Lab

Hui Zhang — Dr. Hui Zhang's lab at the University of Nevada Las Vegas focuses on understanding how specific proteins are modified by the addition of methyl groups to lysine residues, which can lead to their targeted destruction in the cell. This research is important because it links protein modification to various biological processes, including the regulation of stem cells and the development of cancers. By exploring the mechanisms behind this process, the lab aims to provide insights that could lead to new treatments for diseases associated with these pathways.
