Dr. Terrance Kubiseski

Biography

Terrance Kubiseski is a full professor in the Faculty of Science at York University, specializing in the study of signaling pathways involving monomeric G-protein family RasGTPases. His research primarily focuses on understanding the critical roles these proteins play in various fundamental cellular processes, including cell growth, movement, transcriptional activation, endocytosis, vesicle transport, and differentiation. Prior to his current position, Kubiseski's work included identifying and characterizing enzymes activated by Ras in the nematode C.elegans. His research demonstrated how mutations in the brap-2 gene affect detoxification systems in C.elegans and their lifespan, highlighting the role of transcription factors in these processes. He has also explored the implications of his findings in the context of age-related diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. The Kubiseski lab continues to investigate critical regulatory mechanisms in cellular responses to oxidative stress, contributing significant insights into molecular biology and genetics.
