Research Project:
The role of Ubiquilin-family proteins in human non-small cell lung cancer
Summary:
Dr. Beverly’s study aims to determine the mechanism by which UBQLN loss alters MYC signaling and proliferation of lung epithelial cells; assess how cancer-relevant somatic mutations alter the activity of UBQLN proteins; and demonstrate a role for loss of UBQLN in the initiation of non-small cell lung cancer.
