Wellness is a constantly expanding global industry, but it seems that as wellness becomes more mainstream (and profitable) in a world dominated by social media marketing and trends, many mainstream practices have become detached from their cultural origins. What does it mean to “decolonize wellness” and what can we learn from this approach to re-centering culture and knowledge and addressing appropriation and erasure?

The interplay between protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) can be capitalized as potential therapeutic targets and epigenetic markers for disease detection. My laboratory focuses on the crosstalk between two PTMs: arginine methylation and phosphorylation. We are investigating this interplay in three different proteins: PGC-1alpha, a master metabolic regulator, implicated in obesity; Myelin Basic Protein (MBP), a protein that provides insulation for neurons and is implicated in Multiple Sclerosis; and BAG3, a chaperon protein implicated in heart disease. Approaches to investigating these proteins will be discussed. Identifying proteins and the sites at which protein arginine methylation affects cell function will contribute to a greater understanding of cellular processes.
