Profile

Dr. Maddika Subba Reddy is leading an independent group at CDFD, where research in his lab (Laboratory of Cell Death and Cell Survival) is focused on exploring the functional protein interaction networks controlled by phosphatase and ubiquitin systems. His group is interested in identifying new protein complexes responsible for normal functioning of the cell as well as human diseases. His lab has mapped several new functions for the components of phosphatase and ubiquitin systems in human cells.

Current Focus Areas

  • Molecular networks in controlling cellular homeostasis focussed broadly on Phosphatase and Ubiquitin biology
