Research interest：

The focus of the Peti laboratory is to understand the molecular:basis of essential biological processes. Signaling cascades direct information transmission and, in turn, function in processes as diverse as memory and muscle movement. These cascades are mediated by a network of highly specific and tightly regulated protein:protein interactions, including those made by serine/threonine kinases and serine/threonine phosphatases.

His long-term goal is to achieve an in-depth understanding of signaling networks with a special focus on serine/threonine phosphatase signaling, by using chemical, biochemical, biophysical, structural biology, especially NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography, and in vivo technologies.
