The Berry Lab

Lab Members

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.
Our research focuses on two major areas, the mechanism and efficiency of selenoprotein biosynthesis, and the functions of selenoproteins in health and disease.

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.
