The Aryal Laboratory
Overview
The Aryal lab specializes in Mass Spectrometry based approaches to investigate the underlying mechanisms of senescence and aging, at both the cellular and organism levels. Our lab is interested in understanding how the changes in the the proteome, as well as the dynamic changes in protein post-translational modifications, contribute to aging and aging associated diseases, such as Cancer and Neurodegenerative diseases
