Research Interests
Zmpste24 is a metallopeptidase involved in the processing of prelamin A and the clearance of translocon clogging. Mutations in Zmpste24 lead to laminopathies similar to those caused by mutations in lamin A. I am interested in how Zmpste24 mutations affects cell migration and whether the effects are related to its functions in prelamin A processing.
