The Burger Lab

Defining the metabolite protein regulome

Our mission

We are excited about understanding redox- and metabolite-driven regulatory mechanisms that control cellular processes in health and disease. Our primary interest is the regulation of metabolism and mitochondrial biology with the aim to leverage our findings toward the development of novel therapies. To accomplish these goals, we leverage a blend of mass spectrometry-based, computational, and biochemical strategies in basic and pre-clinical models.
