Animals produce soft tissues by synthesizing proteins and retaining a proportion as protein growth; the remainder being degraded and the amino acids recycled. These interrelated processes of protein synthesis, protein growth and protein degradation are collectively called protein metabolism. In fish, protein metabolism is highly sensitive to a wide variety of biotic and abiotic factors including temperature, pollution, food availability and probably to the individual's social status. Protein metabolism is highly regulated and, at the cellular level, this regulation involves the signal transduction pathways. In the last decade, our understanding of the roles of the signal transduction pathways in the control of protein metabolism has greatly progressed however much remains to be understood, especially in non-mammalian animals. The long-term goals of my research program are; 1) to characterize the cellular mechanisms involved in the control of protein metabolism and 2) to use these cellular mechanisms to extract information on the physiological status of animals that are either farmed or collected from the wild.

动物通过合成蛋白质并保留一定比例的蛋白质生长来产生软组织;其余的被降解，氨基酸被回收。这些相互关联的蛋白质合成、蛋白质生长和蛋白质降解过程统称为蛋白质代谢。在鱼类中，蛋白质代谢对各种生物和非生物因素高度敏感，包括温度、污染、食物供应，可能还对个体的社会地位高度敏感。 蛋白质代谢受到高度调节，在细胞水平上，这种调节涉及信号转导途径。 在过去的十年中，我们对信号转导通路在蛋白质代谢控制中的作用的理解有了很大的进展，但仍有许多有待理解，特别是在非哺乳动物中。 我的研究计划的长期目标是：1）表征参与蛋白质代谢控制的细胞机制，2）使用这些细胞机制来提取有关养殖或从野外收集的动物的生理状态的信息。
