Research interests
- I am interested in the dynamics of cell growth, metabolic and regulatory processes during the eukaryotic cell division cycle (CDC), across a wide range of CDC periods. In particular, I study how the growth rate signal - which is function of the availability of nutrients and growth factors - regulates the switch between respiration and fermentation and changes the duration of phases of the cell growth and division cycles.

We discovered that the relative durations of the phases of the yeast metabolic cycle change with the growth rate. These changes can explain mechanistically the transcriptional growth-rate responses of all yeast genes (25% of the genome) that we find to be the same across all studied nutrient limitations in either ethanol or glucose carbon source.
