Bruno Manta, Ph.D. | The Pew Charitable Trusts

Our Work

Our projects are ambitious, consistent with a tested investment philosophy, and designed to reap measurable benefits for the public. Throughout our history, Pew has focused on impact—asking tough questions, seeking out evidence, working with strong partners, bringing unique interests together, and striving for effective solutions that address important issues.

Our affiliate Pew Research Center is focused around tracking important changes—using data-based research—to help policy analysts, government officials, and the public identify and prepare for future challenges.

Research

The Gladyshev Lab studies mechanisms of redox regulation of cellular processes involved in physiological and pathophysiological states. Recent research has found that nearly every process in cells is redox controlled, but the major paradigm has been that cellular proteins are oxidized (damaged) by reactive oxygen species or other oxidants in a relatively unspecific way, and reduced (repaired) by designated reductases. Now, using new approaches in biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, I will investigate mechanisms for targeted, specific, reversible redox control and its role in cellular dynamics. These findings will shed light on the novel mechanisms of redox control and could lead to therapeutic interventions in the fields of aging or cancer.
