The Mudumbi lab studies signal transduction and focuses on 2 main areas of research: 1) receptor activation kinetics and 2) downstream signaling kinetics. By understanding the kinetics of signal transduction from the level of both receptor signaling and downstream events, we hope to build a ‘kinetic landscape’ to understand how receptors achieve distinct signaling responses through the same receptor – a phenomenon known as biased signaling. This will allow us to target these kinetics with therapeutics and modulate or ‘fine-tune’ them for specific cellular outcomes in the future.
