Investigating Regulatory and Metabolic Impacts of the Serine-Threonine Protein Kinase PknK
Braden Griebel (Ma Lab)
PhD Candidate, Department of Chemical Engineering, UW
Braden is a fifth-year PhD student in the Ma Lab at the Center for Global Infectious Disease Research within Seattle Children's Research Institute. His research focuses on using diverse mathematical and computational tools to investigate how Mtb uses metabolic regulation to respond to stress. Specifically, using omics-datasets to interrogate the interaction between Mtb's serine-threonine protein kinases, transcriptional regulators and metabolism using optimization and graph-theory based approaches.
