Biography
Dr. Eldeeb is an Assistant Professor of Biochemistry at ISU. Dr. Eldeeb obtained his PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Alberta, Canada, where he studied the roles of protein degradation in regulating cell-death signaling. He did his postdoctoral research at McGill University. Dr. Eldeeb's current research aims to mechanistically understand signaling molecules that guide protein degradation, mitochondrial degradation and cell death decisions in response to stress signals.

Research Interests & Areas
Research in my group aspires to discover and mechanistically understand signaling molecules that regulate protein degradation, mitochondrial degradation and cell death decisions in response to various stress and metabolic signals. Our group asks fundamental questions about the journey of proteins – how do proteins live and die, and how do these processes affect the cell life and death decisions? Our work uses a combination of biochemical, molecular, cellular and genetic approaches to try to answer these questions. Our discoveries help create a better molecular understanding of neurodegenerative diseases and other aging-associated disorders.
