BENNETT LAB

In the Bennett lab, our research is focused on understanding how the proteome is dynamically remodeled in response to cellular stress. In particular, we study mechanisms employed by the cell's protein degradation system to buffer the cell against acute and chronic protein homeostasis stress. The ubiquitin-proteasome system is the primary cellular machinery tasked with overseeing the selective degradation of nearly every protein within the cell. One of the key functions of the ubiquitin proteasome system is to oversee the selective removal of damaged or erroneously synthesized proteins.
