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.
Griffin, Patrick
focuses on the application of mass spectrometry technology to probe protein-ligand and protein-protein interactions.
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.
Phinney, Donald G
employs a multi-disciplinary approach to study the basic biology of mesenchymal stem cells and their potential as vectors to treat inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders.
