Marla Berry, PhD (Lab PI)
Research in our lab is focused on selenoproteins, proteins containing the essential trace element, selenium, in the form of an unusual amino acid, selenocysteine. |

Peter Hoffmann, PhD, MSPH (Post Doc)
Current projects include subcellular localization of selenprotein
synthesis factors, investigating the effects of in vitro selenium
depletion on nonsense-mediated decay, and in vivo dietary selenium
effects on development of asthma. Publications |

Qingping HeI am involved in expanding the Disk Spinning Unit (DSU)
confocal microscope applications in Dr. Berry's lab and establishing
live cell imaging. Furthermore, I am involved in performing
immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry techniques on study of
selenoproteins in vitro and in vivo. |

RJ StillwellI am currently interested in examining the trends of Sec/Cys usage among protein families and among species. I am also actively involoved in the development of SelenoDB, a database for selenoproteins. |
