Assembly of protein complexes in health and disease

Description 
Studies in the Ryan lab involve understanding how protein complexes are built and how mutations in proteins cause defects in assembly. Our models are protein complexes in human cells and mouse mitochondria. We investigate this using a range of techniques including native-PAGE, western blotting, co-immunoprecipitations, proteomics, mutational studies and gene editing.
