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.
Bohn, Laura
research is aimed at understanding how the molecular regulation of G protein coupled receptors (GPCR) can translate to overall therapeutic responsiveness in patients.
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.
Conkright, Michael
studies the molecular events that govern the conversion of the cyclic AMP signaling cascade into transcriptional activation of target gene using cell-based high-throughput technologies.
Izard, Tina
studies the structural dynamics of signaling mediators of adhesion junctions.
Kishi, Shuji
aims to develop a high-throughput processing system for gene identification and phenotype characterization particularly associated with age-related disorders in humans, using zebarfish as an amenable vertebrate model system.
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
Miller, Courtney
is working to develop novel therapeutics for the treatment of memory disorders by targeting the epigenetic and synaptic contributors.
Strosberg, Donny
by studying protein-protein interactions in HCV, identifies and characterizes peptides and small molecules that affect host-pathogen relations, e.g. inhibit HCV release from cultured hepatoma cells.
