Dr Auchus’ lab explores the fundamental chemical principles that govern the biosynthesis of steroid hormones in human beings and how these principles relate to human disease. Another focus is the origin of the strong directional preferences exhibited by the hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD) enzymes in intact cells.
