Biography

Marc L. Mendillo is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. His research focuses on the cellular protein homeostasis network, which maintains the integrity of the proteome against various endogenous and environmental insults. This network not only promotes cell fitness but can also be co-opted by tumor cells to thrive amidst stresses associated with malignancy. His long-term research goals include identifying and characterizing systems that enhance protein homeostasis and understanding how these systems are perturbed during cancer progression. His group employs biochemical, genetic, and chemical biology approaches, alongside systematic high-throughput genomic methods, to achieve these objectives. Dr. Mendillo has a keen interest in areas such as Cancer Biology, Cell Biology, Energy Metabolism, Epigenetics, Gene Regulation, Genetics, Genomics, and Systems Biology.
