Background
PREFERRED TITLE/ROLE:

Assistant Professor of Cellular and Molecular Physiology

GRADUATE PROGRAM AFFILIATIONS:

Physiology

NARRATIVE:

My studies are designed to evaluate the role of polyamines in tumor promotion and progression using transgenic mice that overexpress antizyme, a negative regulator of cellular polyamine synthesis and uptake, in a tissue specific manner. Mouse models of cancer that utilize chemical carcinogenesis, activated oncogene expression and tumor suppressor loss are employed to study the ability of antizyme to suppress tumor development as well as its mechanism of action.
