The Cooper Lab's Research
Welcome to the Cooper lab. Our main interest is understanding signal transduction mechanisms with an emphasis on pathways that regulate cell migration and morphology. We are currently focused on the interplay between tyrosine phosphorylation and ubiquitination in migrating cells.
