I aim to understand how secondary structure in the 5ʹUTR coupled with the regulation of eIF4A helicase activity by eIFs during translation initiation controls differential translation and fidelity of initiation codon recognition. Specifically, I focus on how cellular levels of oncogenes and growth factors are regulated at the level of translation initiation. |

In the Diaz lab, we are interested in uncovering specific events that must occur for proper synapse development. We are specifically interested in a family of proteins (SynDIGs, for Synapse Differentiation Induced Gene) that play a critical role in AMPA Receptor recruitment to synapses during development. To answer further questions regarding the function of these proteins, I primarily use immunocytochemistry combined with molecular biology techniques |
