Research: The role of ERAD components in protein degradation

Year: 2014-present

Corey received a B.S. degree in Molecular Biology from Westminster College (PA) in 2013 where he studied the role of TREX-2 components in nuclear protein transport. Corey joined the Tsai Lab in 2014 to study dynamics of protein degradation through the ERAD pathway. Away from the lab, he enjoys playing and watching sports, traveling, and writing music on his bass guitar.
