University of Hawaii
Honolulu, Hawaii
I'm a professor studying redox-regulated protein folding mechanisms and chaperones of the secretory pathway, especially in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. We also conduct applied research on the genetic improvement of Anthurium flowers and papaya for disease resistance. The folowing are recent papers:
