Investigators: |
Dr.
Glenn Dorsam, Assistant Professor / Biochemistry
Dorsam Lab
Dr. Dorsam has established a research program based on the epigenetic transcriptional regulation controlling how cells proliferate and differentiate. He is specifically interested in the investigation of molecular mechanisms governing Ikaros-mediated transcriptional regulation of vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor-1 (VPACR-1) in T lymphocytes. |

 Dr.
Gregory Cook, Professor / Synthetic Organic
Chemistry
Cook
Group Webpage
Dr. Cook has initiated a vigorous program in the application of organometallic
catalysis to organic synthesis with a focus on the preparation of unnatural
amino acids. His group will use their amino acid expertise in the development
of new protease inhibitors. |

 Dr. Bin
Guo, Assistant Professor / Pharmaceutical Sciences
Guo Group
Webpage
Dr. Guo has established a research program to study the regulation of
cancer cell apoptosis. He is interested in the investigation of the molecular
mechanisms that control cancer cell death in response to chemotherapeutic
drugs. |
