Biography
Properly functioning muscle cells is important for life. In the Kostyukova lab, I aim to study the structure and function of proteins that regulate the sarcomere, the contractile unit of muscle cells. Determining the role these proteins play in muscle function may lead to a better understanding of certain muscular diseases.
