Research Interests

Transcriptional control is a key step in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression. My laboratory focuses on understanding the molecular mechanism of transcription factors that govern the transformation of normal mammalian cells to neoplastic state. We are particularly interested in the action of nuclear hormone receptors and the interactions between the receptors and other signaling pathways during tumor development and progression. Our long-term goal is to identify new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for human cancers.
