SuTEx chemistry provides a path towards pharmacological control of biomolecular condensates
A new study from the Hsu Lab in collaboration with colleagues at Princeton report the discovery of small molecules capable of controlling cellular levels of membraneless subcellular compartments known as processing-bodies (PBs) and stress granules (SGs). PBs and SGs are cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granules that are part of a larger family of stru...Ku-Lung (Ken) Hsu Joining Department
The Department of Chemistry is pleased to announce that Dr. Ku-Lung (Ken) Hsu will join the University of Texas at Austin in 2023 as a CPRIT Scholar. Dr. Hsu will bring his innovative program in chemical biology, focusing on protein biology and metabolism to develop new pharmacological approaches for cancer and immunology.
