Florida Faculty Interests

Area of Interest: Immunohistochemistry

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.

Kenny, Paul  
employs a multidisciplinary approach to investigate the underlying neurobiology of psychiatric disorders.

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.

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.

Petrie, Howard  
focuses on the production of specialized blood cells called T lymphocytes, which are central mediators of the immune response. Understanding this is central in developing treatments for immunodeficiencies resulting from environmental exposure (such as HIV/AIDS) or aging.

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.

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.
