Jose Delgado

Jose earned a Bachelor of Science in Biological Science with an emphasis on Microbiology and Immunology at the University of California, Merced. His research in the Shoemaker lab focuses on two mitochondrial membrane proteins that facilitate the degradation of mitochondria by autophagy in response to physiological stress. Jose uses a combination of CRISPR screening, biochemical assays, and microscopy to dissect these mechanisms. Jose's hobbies include road biking, hiking, kayaking, working out, skiing in the winter and cooking.
