Understanding life: protein dynamics

Our bodies are composed of tens of trillions of cells, which work together to carry out organ functions and respond to external signals. Cellular activities are regulated by various molecules within and around the cells, and when this regulation fails, it can lead to cellular aging, death, and disease. Among the key molecules in cells—DNA, RNA, metabolites, and proteins—proteins primarily govern cellular functions. By studying the dynamics of tens of thousands of proteins and enhancing the precision of proteomics, a technique for analyzing proteins within cells, I aim to uncover the mysteries behind disease development.
