Welcome to the lab, Marissa!
We are excited to welcome Dr. Marissa Trujillo to the Hicks Lab! Marissa recently graduated with her PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences form the University of Arizona where she worked in the lab of Dr. James Galligan. Her research focused on post-translational modification (PTM) regulation of cell metabolism. Using LC-MS/MS, she focused on understanding how the glyoxalase cycle, a pathway designed to “detoxify” the glycolytic by-product, methylglyoxal (MGO), regulates certain metabolic disorders.
