Research project "PTPs & metabolic diseases" (ARC program)
The role of protein tyrosine phosphatases in metabolic diseases
In this proposal, researchers aim to fully characterise the activity and oxidation status of PTPs in metabolic relevant cells, such as pancreatic β-cells and hepatocytes. Importantly, these functions of PTPs make them promising drug candidates for the treatment of metabolic disorders. This research will provide molecular mechanisms to propose novel pre-clinical approaches to treat these pathologies.
