Research Scientist, Per Diem
The BWH Division of Genetics is an academic unit within the Department of Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Mass General Brigham, and Harvard Medical School. The Division conducts research and training that covers broad areas of genetics and the biomedical sciences. An important goal of the Division is to build synergy and collaboration with other units within Mass General Brigham, Harvard Medical School, and beyond to enable fundamental and translational scientific discoveries that will help diagnose, prevent, and treat human diseases. The Cole Lab research involves the chemical biology of protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) in the context of signaling, epigenetics, and cancer. The Cole lab develops and applies chemical approaches, including protein semisynthesis and small molecule probes, to the study of protein phosphorylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, and other PTMs in enzymes and cellular networks. The lab is currently investigating the functions, regulation, and mechanisms of PTEN lipid phosphatase, Akt protein kinase, NEDD4 ubiquitin ligases, LSD1 histone demethylase, HDAC1 deacetylase, the CoREST complex, and p300/CBP acetyltransferase. The lab strives to translate their findings in signaling and epigenetics to identify novel therapeutic opportunities for the treatment of cancer and other diseases.
