John J LaPres

The LaPres laboratory is focused on the PAS superfamily of transcription factors. PAS proteins (named for the first identified members, Per, ARNT and Sim) are transcription factors that play a central role in sensing and coping with changes in various environmental cues. The goal of this research is to completely understand the signaling cascades of certain PAS proteins and how they mediate their pleiotropic effects on biological systems.
