Antoine Dufour is an assistant professor in the department of Physiology and Pharmacology at the University of Calgary. The goal of his lab is to understand how proteolytic post-translational modifications lead to the activation or inactivation of immune responses in inflammatory diseases. By the irreversible processing of bioactive proteins and signaling molecules, proteases modulate all aspects of biology. They focus on proteases and their substrates on a cell, tissue, or organism-wide scale.
