About the Abad Lab: The Abad Lab focuses on studying the interplay between stress responses and cellular plasticity for tissue repair. The lab explores cellular reprogramming in vivo and the role of cellular senescence in tissue damage and reprogramming. Additionally, they investigate small open reading frames (sORFs) and their impact on cellular plasticity. At Altos Cambridge, the lab aims to create a collaborative program to understand how the proteome adapts to stress and identify determinants of cellular reprogramming and tissue rejuvenation.
