Catherine Grimes, Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and doctoral student Vishnu Mohanan in the tissue culture lab in Brown Laboratory. Part of their research is investigating the molecular chaperone HSP70 (70 kilodalton heat shock proteins), which binds to and stabilizes NOD2 (Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 2), an important protein involved in the immune system and, specifically, Crohn’s Disease and Blau syndrome.
