Abstract:
This research project aims to investigate the biochemical basis of cellular signaling pathways and their dysregulation in disease states. Cellular signaling pathways play a crucial role in coordinating various cellular processes, including growth, differentiation, metabolism, and response to external stimuli. Dysregulation of these signaling pathways can lead to the development and progression of various diseases, such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. This study will employ a combination of experimental and computational approaches to unravel the intricate biochemical mechanisms underlying cellular signaling pathways and their dysregulation in disease states. The findings from this research will provide valuable insights into the development of targeted therapeutic strategies for the treatment of these diseases.
