Florida Faculty Interests

Area of Interest: Diabetes

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.

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