Award for research on regulatory networks involved in human ribosome biogenesis to understand its role in diseases such as cancer and genetic disorders.
Description
This proposal is designed to answer important questions about the connections between making ribosomes and human disease. Ribosomes are the cellular factories that synthesize proteins in all human cells. As both cancer and genetic diseases of newborn babies are linked to abnormalities in the making of ribosomes, our work will be crucial for elucidating the underlying mechanisms of these diseases.
