Research summary

Dr. Susan Logue’s research focuses on cell stress responses and in particular the unfolded protein response (UPR). Her work seeks to understand how the UPR helps to maintain cell health and when dysregulated contributes to the progression of diseases such as cancer. Using cell biology approaches Dr. Logue and her team map UPR signaling networks asking how they influence intrinsic cellular characteristics and cell to cell communication.

Biography

Dr. Susan Logue joined UM in 2019 as an assistant professor. Dr. Logue completed a PhD in biochemistry at the National University of Ireland Galway followed by postdoctoral training at Trinity College Dublin and National University of Ireland Galway. Dr. Logue’s past training and expertise lies in understanding cell signaling pathways in particular those pathways which trigger cell death and cell stress responses. Dr. Logue has published extensively in the areas of cell death and cell stress and has been the recipient of several national awards including a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair and a Science Foundation Ireland Starting Investigator Award.
