Charlotte Group for Proteostasis Research (CGPR)

What is Proteostasis?

​

Proteostasis is the process which regulates the balance of proteins in the cell leading to a healthy organism. This is a complex process that involves the correct production, folding, transportation and folding of all proteins in the cell.

​

What are the goals of the CGPR?

​

The GCPR consist of a network of researchers at UNC Charlotte that study various aspects of proteostasis. Many of the group have published studies together and submitted/been awarded grants together. We have regular meetings to discuss recent work in the field and to share our own findings. This network aims to provide a rich training experience for undergraduate and graduate students by allowing training in diverse areas of proteostasis that bridge the gap between research on purified proteins, single-celled and multicellular organisms to community behaviour in response to environmental stress.
