UBIQUITIN ROCKS OUR WORLD

TOUR THE LAB

Welcome to Gardner Lab

Thank you for stopping by to learn who we are and what we do! We are located in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Washington in Seattle. We're part of the Molecular and Cellular Biology Graduate Program, the Neurobiology and Behavior Graduate Program, the Medical Science Training Program, and the Graduate Program in the Department of Pharmacology.

 

Yeast is Infectious

No, not that kind of yeast. Working with baker’s or brewer’s yeast can really affect how you think about our inner body workings and how we approach science. You can pick up a package of our favorite little buddy right now at your grocery store or brewer store and work with it hands on to make bread or beer. It loves some sugar and a little bit of warmth. And with that love, you can coax so many flavors and thoughts from it.The little microbe packs so much awesome biology within its tiny package that it can be used to study science in grade school, high school, college, graduate school, and beyond. So many advances in genetics, biochemistry, and cell biology have come from what you might already have in your pantry!

MEET THE PEOPLE

At Gardner Lab, our people drive the science.

Oh. My. Science.

Here at the Gardner Lab, we love all aspects of science. From the molecular, to the genetic, to the ceullar. Post-translational modifications by ubiquitin and its variants are what we study. But that is just how we uncover the different physiological functions that interest us. We are intrigued by protein misfolding, stress-induced regulation of chromatin, and ribosome biogenesis.
