Sheynkman Lab

Laboratory of Proteoform Systems Biology

At the Sheynkman Lab, we study disease-relevant protein forms, or “proteoforms”, by integrating cutting-edge analytical and computational approaches from genomics, proteomics, and systems biology. This precision medicine approach is applied in a disease agnostic manner to elucidate proteoform-driven rewiring events in cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, and cancer.
