The Carroll lab studies the molecular mechanisms that underlie redox-regulation of protein function in order to better understand how redox systems modulate complex physiological processes in normal and disease states.
Oxidative thiol modifications have emerged as a central mechanism for dynamic post-translational regulation of all major protein classes and correlate with many disease states. The Carroll lab focuses on the development and application of chemoselective probes as tools to proile these modiications in cell-based systems and to identify biomarkers of oxidative stress.
