My current research interest focuses on how metabolic pathways are regulated in different phases of cell cycle and what role mTORC1 could play in this cell cycle phase-specific metabolic control. Understanding these mechanisms is important in the context of disease like cancer where altered metabolic regulation is critical, and could lead to new therapeutic targets.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-582\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/valvezan-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/659\/2022\/04\/Untitled-300x210.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"197\" height=\"138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/valvezan-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/659\/2022\/04\/Untitled-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/valvezan-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/659\/2022\/04\/Untitled.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 197px) 100vw, 197px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Jay Joshi<\/h3>\n<h5>Graduate Student: 2022 &#8211;
