Florida Faculty Interests

Area of Interest: Cell Biology

Ayad, Nagi G. 
studies the cell biological basis of cell cycle exit and differentiation of neuronal precursors as it relates to cancer and nerve regeneration.

Burris, Thomas  
research focuses on chemical biology of nuclear receptors, protein molecules that mediate hormone activity inside the cell that are potential drug targets for a number of diseases including prostate, breast and colon cancers, as well as type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome and autoimmunity.

Izard, Tina  
studies the structural dynamics of signaling mediators of adhesion junctions.

Liang, Chris  
Design, synthesis, and testing of novel small molecular therapeutics.

Luo, Junli  
focuses on mechanistic and translational research in molecular signaling that connects epigenetic factors with genetic events during tumor genesis, progression and metastasis

Schroeter, Thomas  
focuses on the development and characterization of small molecule kinase inhibitors and predictive toxicology screens to develop potent and safe drug candidates
