The SUMO Laboratory for Cellular and Molecular Biology
Formerly known as "The SUMO-Influenza Laboratory for Cellular and Molecular Biology"
Welcome to the SUMO Laboratory for Cellular and Molecular Biology, at the University of Texas at El Paso, directed by Dr. German Rosas-Acosta. This website is intended to provide general information related to the SUMOylation system, the work we do, and the relevance and implications of our research.
This website also links with The Molecular Cell Biology YouTube Channel and The Molecular Cell Biology Podcast, both produced and maintained by Dr. Rosas-Acosta, and a few other websites related to Molecular Biology, cancer, and biomedical research in general.
Our Mission
We strive to produce worldclass science that addresses urgent human health issues while providing excellent training and mentoring in Biomedical Sciences to new generations of scientists.
Our Science
Our recent results have led us to develop what could become a new therapy to enhance the anti-tumor activity of current chemotherapeutic agents and prevent tumor resistance.
