This course provides academic credit for independent thesis research conducted under the supervision of a
Georgia Tech faculty advisor. The course does not involve regular class meetings, assignments, or exami-
nations. The scope and direction of research are determined by the student in consultation with the thesis
advisor, consistent with the requirements of the degree program.

This doctoral thesis is designed for graduates who wish to gain research experience in an active laboratory with intent to earn their PhD. The Torres lab’s goal is to understand how protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) regulate protein structure, function, and cell behavior. We approach this challenge using three primary tools, including: Mammalian and Yeast cell systems; Mass spectrometry-based proteomics; Bioinformatics, Structural biology, and Machine learning. We address questions at multiple levels of complexity - from proteome to protein.

Undergraduate research under the guidance of a faculty member for juniors and seniors.
