Work in my lab is focused on understanding how signals in the brain lead to particular patterns of behavior. We utilize a combination of behavioral, genetic, biochemical, imaging, and electrophysiological techniques to study signaling in the brain of the...
Ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like (UBL) protein conjugation systems control a vast array of cellular processes, and impact virtually every biological system. In this process, UBLs are activated through an activation and conjugation cascade before attachment to...
The Fontana lab has two main goals. First, understand the dynamical processes that constitute and maintain biological organization in terms of interactions among molecular components. Second, identify those properties of a biological system that are...
