Kostova Lab
Molecular and Cell Biology
We seek to uncover how changes in ribosome composition impact protein production and contribute to complex physiological processes, including development, adaptation, and disease initiation and progression.
By unraveling the secrets underlying fundamental biological processes, we can find innovative approaches to diagnose, treat, and prevent disease.

Development and Regeneration
Development and Regeneration
Our focus is on how disruptions in ribosome formation and RNA transcription result in the death of neural crest cells that give rise to development of the head, face, and digestive tract.
The unique collaboration between scientists in our labs and Technology Centers enables cutting-edge, solution-driven research to unravel the secrets of life.
