Our Work

The Carroll Lab at FAU uses chemical biology, proteomics, and probe design to study cysteine redox signaling, uncover disease mechanisms, and identify therapeutic and biomarker opportunities.

Redox Proteomics

We use chemical proteomics to map cysteine oxidation and redox-sensitive proteins in cells and tissues, revealing how stress, signaling, and exposures reshape protein function and disease.

Chemical Probes

We design selective chemical probes to detect cysteine modifications such as sulfenic acids and persulfides, advancing chemical biology and enabling high-resolution analysis of protein reactivity.

Cysteine in Disease & Stress

We study how cysteine redox chemistry drives cancer, neurodegeneration, and responses to environmental exposures, identifying redox-regulated proteins that control disease progression and stress adaptation.

Therapeutic Targets & Biomarkers

We translate redox proteomics into impact by discovering cysteine-based drug targets and biomarkers, bridging fundamental chemistry with diagnostics and treatment strategies.
