Kostova Lab
Molecular and Cell Biology
We seek to uncover how changes in ribosome composition impact protein production and contribute to complex physiological processes, including development, adaptation, and disease initiation and progression.
By unraveling the secrets underlying fundamental biological processes, we can find innovative approaches to diagnose, treat, and prevent disease.
