Research interests

Radiobiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and biodetection.

My group is pursuing research to identify the cellular mechanisms associated with ionizing radiation exposures. This work relies on using genomic and proteomic techniques to identify and characterize biological networks that regulate the responses to ionizing radiation. Such information can be utilized for developing diagnostic assays and tools for biodosimetry as well as the treatment and the prevention of cancer. I am also working on developing advance biochemical techniques using nanoparticles made of apolipoproteins and phospholipids called nanolipoproitein particles. These nanoparticles are useful for drug delivery, understanding receptor biochemistry and supporting structural biology of membrane proteins.

Projects

NIH-NCI-R01 – Characterization of HER2 family of proteins.

NIH-NCI-R01. – Optimizing 131I-miBG therapy for children with advance neuroblastoma.
