RESEARCH INTERESTS

  • Research in the Barrios lab lies at the interface between chemistry and biology with an emphasis on developing chemical tools for understanding protein phosphorylation mediated cellular signaling
  • The tools developed in our lab provide the foundation for elucidating roles of protein phosphatases in health and disease
  • We are developing chemical tools to investigate phosphorylation-mediated cellular signaling with the ultimate goals of elucidating the roles of protein phosphatase in health and disease and developing novel phosphatase-targeted therapeutics. For more information, please visit the Barrios Lab.
