Regulated Degradation and Protein Quality Control in Bacteria
In bacteria, ATP dependent proteases destroy proteins during normal growth, in response to stressful conditions, and upon rapid changes in protein levels. I will present our group efforts on understanding the regulation of these proteases, how specificity is determined, and the impact of their loss during stress responses

Deciphering the tubulin code of mechanobiology
We have applied cell biology and synthetic biology approaches to establish a causal relationship between microtubule post-translational modifications and actomyosin contractility in migrating cells.
Bio:
Dr. Deb Roy obtained his PhD in Biomedical Sciences from UConn Health, where he studied molecular interactions between bone cells. He did his post-doctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins Medical Institute on the crosstalk between actin and microtubules. His lab at UConn Health investigates cytoskeletal dynamics and cell motility.
