The York laboratory studies the biology, biochemistry and enzyme regulation of cellular signal transduction pathways. We have discovered complex patterns of chemical codes that establish communication networks which ensure specific responses to developmental and adaptive queues required for life. Our multidisciplinary curiosity-driven approach has enabled trainees to make fundamental discoveries that have uncovered new areas of biology and helped elucidate the pathophysiology of disease.
