The Dalton Lab

Underlie many rare diseases, such as Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDGs) and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (ARS) deficiencies.

Represent rich, untapped biology due to interconnected pathways and challenges in modeling null mutations.

Are well-conserved and thereby great to study with model organisms - like fruit flies!

Some of the things our lab does:

Drug screens for therapeutics and biology

Making and phenotyping new models in flies and cells

Testing human cell lines to determine the impact of pathways and treatments

Unexplored-but-exciting ideas like aging and retrocopy analysis of essential genes
