research overview

  • Dr. Hough is currently studying intrinsically disordered proteins using solution NMR, light microscopy, and theory. Proteins containing disordered domains perform many important cellular functions, and are often used by cells to respond to their environments. Dr. Hough's lab focuses on two protein classes, those involved in yeast cellular stress response and the cytoskeletal proteins alpha- and beta-tubulin.
