Professor Chang’s research is focused on poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) proteins whose primary function is to modify target proteins with ADP-ribose using NAD+ as substrate. PARPs are also major consumers of cellular NAD+ and therefore play additional roles in NAD+ homeostasis. His work is currently focused on two PARP functions identified in his laboratory, regulation of mRNA stability, and regulation of the unfolded protein response.
