Welcome to the Bruce Morgan Lab
Our group is focused on investigating the complex interplay between cellular metabolism and cellular redox processes.
We develop novel technologies and apply them to uncover how redox metabolism drives cellular decision making and regulation.

New paper published 🎉
We are pleased to announce the publication of our research article "A trade-off between stress resistance and tolerance underlies the adaptive response to hydrogen peroxide" in Cell Systems (Volume 16, Issue 7, July 16, 2025). This work reveals fundamental mechanisms governing how cells balance survival strategies under oxidative stress.

Redox Regulation in Life - conference in Saarbrücken
Our lab hosted the "Redox regulation in Life" meeting at Saarland University in Saarbrücken. This collaborative event, organized by the German and British Redox communities, brought together researchers to discuss redox signaling, metabolic networks, and conserved redox systems. The three-day program featured talks on everything from mitochondrial oxidoreductases to protein persulfidation, plus poster sessions where young scientists got to show off their work.

Redox Istanbul 2024 Congress
Lab members traveled to Istanbul, Turkey to take part in the Redox Istanbul 2024 Congress held at the Movenpick Hotel. The conference theme was "From Molecules to Tissues: Redox Biology in Action" and attracted over 300 participants from the whole Europe, USA and Asia. The event covered the latest in redox biology and imaging techniques, with plenary sessions, symposia, and workshops. A highlight was the satellite symposium "Seeing is Believing" at Istanbul Medipol University, which offered hands-on experience with advanced imaging technologies.

Joint SfRBM-SFRRI Conference in Uruguay
Our PhD student Andrey Zhuravlev and master student Anika Diederich made the trip to Punta del Este, Uruguay for the 30th Annual Conference of the Society for Redox Biology and Medicine (SfRBM), held together with the 21st Biennial Congress of the Society for Free Radical Research International (SFRRI). This four-day gathering was all about cutting-edge research in redox biology, with presentations covering both fundamental science and translational applications. Beyond the science, participants enjoyed Uruguay's beaches, culture, and world-class food scene.
