Erber Research Group
Chemical Biology | Mass Spectrometry | Cell Biology
Welcome to the Erber Lab! The Erber Lab is a part of the Department of Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Kansas.
The long-term goal of the Erber research program is to promote a paradigm shift in the way we study and target disease-relevant signals in human diseases like cancer, metabolic disorders and degenerative diseases. This research goal is accomplished by integrating chemical synthesis, cell biology and mass spectrometry platforms, to identify novel biological mechanisms underlying disease. These insights will be used to develop innovative diagnostic and therapeutic modalities to impact these disorders.
Major Research Directions
Project 1:
Targeting Protein-Protein Interactions
driving disease progression
Target domain-specific interactions driving development and progression of cancer
Project 2:
Chromatin Markers of DNA Damage
Define mechanisms of dysregulated gene expression and DNA repair.
