The Brenman lab uses both genetics and biochemical/proteomic techniques to understand how AMPK functions both in cells and in organisms. They use the power of Drosophila genetics as a major platform for discovery projects. However, they also have mouse knockouts for AMPK activity that allow us to do cell culture and mammalian genetics as well. We are particularly interested in discovering new molecular players in the AMPK signaling pathway.
