Charlotte Group for Proteostasis Research (CGPR)

What is Proteostasis?

Proteostasis is the process that allow organisms to maintain a healthy balance of proteins. This is a complex process that involves the correct production, folding, transportation and degradation of all proteins in the cell.

​

What are the goals of the CGPR?

The CGPR, established by Dr. Truman in 2022 consist of a network of researchers at UNC Charlotte that study various aspects of proteostasis. Many of the group have published studies and been awarded research grants together. We have regular meetings to discuss recent work in the field and to share our own findings. The CGPR aims to promote a rich training experience for undergraduate and graduate students by providing hands-on training with purified proteins, single-celled and multicellular organisms to understand the response to environmental stress.
