Research Interests:
A focus on metals and free radicals in biology and medicine, with a goal to determine the mechanisms by which transition metal-dependent regulation occurs in response to apoptosis inducers, carcinogens, cytokines, infection, stress, and tumor promoters on inducible transcription factors that can cause cancer development. Research studies include:
Role of Metals in Biology and Medicine
Cellular Signaling and Transcriptional Regulation by Metalloproteins
Mechanistic Enzymology and Metabolic Pathways
Oxidative Stress and Free Radical in Cancer Biology
