معرفی
Emilia Galperin, PhD, is a Professor at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, Department of Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry. Her research focuses on the interplay between endocytic and signaling cellular mechanisms, particularly the ERK1/2 pathway regulated by scaffold proteins like Shoc2. She earned her B.Sc. and Ph.D. at Tel-Aviv University and completed postdoctoral work at University of Colorado Denver.
Her lab employs zebrafish models and advanced microscopy to investigate Shoc2's role in developmental diseases and cancer. Key projects include studying Shoc2's interaction with the ubiquitin-proteasome system and endosomal trafficking, funded by NIH/NIGMS, Markey Cancer Center, and CCTS.
Scientific awards and honors are not explicitly mentioned in the provided texts. Her research has advanced understanding of ERK1/2 signaling specificity and therapeutic strategies for developmental disorders and cancer.
