Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Research by Jessica L. Kelliher focuses on understanding molecular mechanisms underlying cellular processes, particularly those related to DNA repair and T cell function. Her work has investigated the roles of specific proteins, such as RNF168 and UBA80, in regulating histone ubiquitination and DNA repair pathways. Kelliher has also explored how metabolic factors influence T cell activity, examining the role of PCK2 in supporting T cell effector functions in challenging environments and its potential manipulation to enhance immunotherapy responses. Her publications demonstrate a focus on proteomic analysis and the dynamics of protein turnover to identify key regulators in cellular processes like T cell exhaustion and persistence. Kelliher's research network includes extensive collaborations with colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom she shares multiple publications.
