The Schaffer lab studies diabetes and its cardiovascular complications. We are using genetic, biochemical, cell biological, and physiological approaches to elucidate mechanisms through which abnormally high levels of metabolites cause cell dysfunction and cell
death. Current areas of focus include non-canonical functions of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), regulated RNA degradation, and translational regulation in response to metabolic stress.
<span class="s1">Our goal is to discover fundamental mechanisms of metabolic stress responses and to translate our findings in ways that inform development of approaches to improve the lives of patients with metabolic diseases. For more information on our lab
and interests, visit </span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><a href="https://www.schafferlab.org/"><u><span style="color:blue">https://www.schafferlab.org</span></u></a></span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
