| My work is centered on understanding the effects of protein expression noise or varying protein abundance on the growth rate or fitness of S cerevisiae. I've approached this problem first by modeling the effects of changing protein abundance of physically interacting proteins in order to systematically identify proteins where changes in abundance is more likely to disrupt complex formation. I'm currently focused on gaining an understanding of the effects of expression noise in S cerevisiae beyond the observation of correlations by experimentally measuring the sensitivity of cell growth rates to manipulated levels of expression noise and protein abundance. | |
