GEMS Research Topics : Cancer BiologyChakrabarty, AnandaPh.D, University of Calcutta Research Interests Research Description Microorganisms and cancer; interaction of microbial redox proteins with the tumor suppressor protein p53; development of anticancer drugs from microbial sources.
Chishti, AtharPh.D., University of Melbourne, Australia Research Interests Research Description Assembly and Regulation of the Cytoskeleton. Function of MAGUKs (membrane associated guanylate kinases); role of calpains in platelet function; mechanisms of malaria parasite pathogenesis in red blood cells; cell proliferation and tumor suppression pathways.
Cohen, EdwardM.D., Washington University Research Interests Research Description DNA based vaccines for cancer therapy.
Colamonici, OscarM.D., University of Uruguay Research Interests Research Description Characterization of the structure of the interferon alpha receptor (IFN R) and cytokine signaling.
Gartel, AndreiPh.D., Institute of Virology, Moscow, Russia Research Interests Research Description Regulation of CDK inhibitor p21 in normal and cancer cells, Anticancer drugs that target antiapoptotic pathways
Hales, Dale BuchananPhD, University Colorado Health Science Center Research Interests Research Description The goal of our work is to gain an understanding the role of oxidative stress in the etiology of diseases of the reproductive system including prostate and ovarian cancer, hypogonadism associated with aging (andropause) and diabetes. Our studies are centered on mitochondrial biology. We have a long standing interest steroid hormone biochemistry-- steroidogenesis and steroid action. The unifying theme of the work is immune-endocrine and environmental control of male reproductive health, in particular how the immune system and the environment affect Leydig cell function.
