Major Research Theme
| 1. Genomic instability: we have developed a model system with which to identify the emergence of DNA rearrangements that follow exposure to a specific stimulus, e.g., exposure to a viral oncoprotein such as the AdE1A, or polyoma middle T antigens. We have established that these oncoproteins are necessary but not sufficient for induction of DNA rearrangements. Differential display analyses demonstrated the presence of several unique cDNAs the expression of which is upregulated, which are homologues of known helicases and appear to have an important role in generating a rearrangement event. 2. Another focus of research is clinical investigations evaluating novel therapies, be they biologicals or chemotherapy based as attempts at improvng therapy of solid tumors. 3. Lastly, I have developed an interest in ethical issues involved in clinical research and cancer care. |
