Research Interest
We study molecular mechanisms of calcium signaling with a focus on store-operated CRAC channels and their essential roles in T cell development and function. Currently we aim to define the molecular mechanism for CRAC channel activation and the means by which calcium signal dynamics mediate specific activation of transcription factors and T-cell genes during development.

Research Interest
Pancreatic and esophageal cancers are common and deadly cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. Our laboratory is currently focused on the characterization of genes important in tumor development and growth. Such genes will potentially serve as therapeutic targets. An additional focus of the laboratory is the development of diagnostic assays for the early detection of pancreatic and esophageal disease.
