Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEdward Lau is an Associate Professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine who studies the spatial and temporal dynamics of proteins in stem cells and cardiomyocytes, leveraging stable isotope labeling mass spectrometry and spatial proteomics. With 11 years of experience spanning UCLA, Stanford, and CU Anschutz, he combines wet-lab cellular physiology—secretome signaling, senescence signatures, cardiotoxicity—with computational approaches linking transcripts to proteins and machine learning–based protein prediction. His lab develops quantitative methods to measure protein half-lives and map subcellular protein distributions, enabling insights into proteostasis in iPSC models. Edward routinely bridges disciplines, mentoring across Pharmacology, Integrated Physiology, and Cell Biology graduate programs while maintaining an active online presence (lab website, ORCID, Mastodon/Twitter). Not obvious from titles alone: he pairs deep mass-spec method development with practical bioinformatic pipelines to resolve where and when proteins act in complex cellular systems.
