Research Focus
Dr. Abhishek Chatterjee's lab at Boston College focuses on developing innovative tools to study post-translational modifications in proteins. By using advanced genetic technologies, the lab aims to understand how these modifications affect protein function in human health and diseases like cancer and autoimmune disorders. The research involves creating methods to introduce and study new protein modifications accurately in living cells.
