Biography NIH Biosketch PubMed Publications Departmental Website Research Focus The primary focus of my research is to devise specific methods for early diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and to understand the effect of factors produced by ovarian tumors on the functional capacity of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes. This research involves extensive utilization of glycoproteomic analysis …
Biography NIH Biosketch PubMed Publications Departmental Website Research Focus Understand the mechanism of Kir7.1 mutations associated blindness using patient derived iPS-Retinal Pigment Epithelium cells. Kir7.1 potassium channels are present in the apical processes of RPE cell that mediate ionic homeostasis within the retina structure and several mutations are associated with childhood blindness. Our primary goal …
Biography NIH Biosketch PubMed Publications Departmental Website Research Focus Exciting new advances in DNA sequencing technology have begun to reveal the depth and significance of genomic variation among organisms. The causes of this variation are evolutionary, and the rapid accumulation of data on the genomic scale has firmly positioned population and evolutionary geneticists at the …
