Dr. Bogyo's lab uses chemical, biochemical, and cell biological methods to study protease function in human disease. Projects include:
- Design and synthesis of novel chemical probes for each of the primary protease families.
- Understanding the role of proteolysis in the life cycle of the human parasites, Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii.
- Defining the specific functional roles of proteases during the process of tumorogenesis.
- In vivo imaging of protease activity.
