Dr. Raju Rajala has over 50 peer-reviewed publications and is well known for his outstanding research on post-translational modification of proteins by N-myristoyl transferases. He moved to the OUHSC Department of Ophthalmology two years ago from Canada to work on vision research projects with Dr. Anderson. Shortly after his arrival, he made the novel discovery that the insulin receptor in the retina was phosphorylated in a light-dependent manner, which then led to activation of PI 3-kinase. His expertise in molecular biology and protein chemistry will be applied to independent studies on the mechanism by which photon capture by rhodopsin leads to the activation (phosphorylation) of the insulin receptor.
