研究领域

We are studying the basis of drug resistance of melanoma cells with a particular interest in Ref-1/APE and redox regulation. We have also proposed an alternative model for the etiology and progression of cutaneous melanoma based on the altered redox metabolism in human melanoma cells and developed new anticancer therapies based on these observations. We are heavily involved in Phase I, II, and III clinical chemoprevention trials involving oral, colon, pancreas cancer, and melanoma and study such compounds as difluromethiornithine, Bowman-Birk Inhibitors (a Soybean-derived compound) SAMe, and Lovastatin.
