Our laboratory is interested in defining the changes in cell signaling that occur as tumors initiate, progress, and develop resistance to drugs, with the ultimate goal of inhibiting these processes. Part of our research focuses on study of NEDD9, a member of the Cas protein family. NEDD9 acts as a scaffold for signaling proteins that play essential roles in cancer progression and normal organismal development. Part of the laboratory also addresses the biological functions of NEDD9-interacting proteins, including particularly an oncogenic kinase, Aurora-A. Complementary projects use computer-based bioinformatic approaches to look for genes that sensitize cells to therapies targeted against cancer-promoting proteins such as EGFR. We hope through these studies to better define the interactions of signaling pathways in malignant versus normal cells, allowing improvements in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Briefly, our current research focus on characterizing the early development of infants who have an older sibling diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and are thus at heightened biological risk for ASD. Because current recurrence risks indicate that these infants have an 18-20% chance of eventually receiving an ASD diagnosis, we are also seeking to identify early behavioral indicators of ASD. ASD cannot be reliably diagnosed before age 2, yet many parents of children with ASD report having had concerns about their child's development as early as 6 months of age. Early identification is prerequisite to early intervention, which generally leads to better outcomes. In addition, very little is known about when and how symptoms of ASD manifest in early infancy, so we also hope to further our understanding of the development of infants eventually diagnosed with ASD and identify potential mechanisms that may underlie the emergence of early ASD symptoms.

In human cells, 19 different Karyopherinβ (Kapβs/Importins/Exportins) proteins mediate the majority of protein traffic in and out of the nucleus by recognizing distinct nuclear localization or export signals (NLSs or NESs). Thus, Kapβs are critically involved in cellular processes such as gene expression, signal transduction, immune response, oncogenesis and viral propagation, all of which require proper nucleocytoplasmic targeting. Despite the importance of nucleocytoplasmic transport, the mechanisms of transport particularly of nuclear export and the distinctions in targeting signals recognized by the different pathways remain poorly understood. Understanding the mechanistic distinctions between multiple Kapβ pathways is a crucial precedent for studies to generate pathway-specific inhibitors that would be invaluable in mapping macromolecular traffic through the NPC. Knowledge of Kapβ mechanisms is also important in pharmaceutical efforts of improving gene targeting and antisense agents delivery into the nucleus. Only two classes of NLS and one class of NES are currently known. The short lysine-rich classical-NLS was discovered in the early 1980s and is recognized by Kapα/Kapβ1. More recently, our lab has defined a class of significantly larger and more diverse NLS termed the PY-NLS, which is recognized by Kapβ2. On the other hand, the only known NES is the leucine-rich NES, which is recognized by export-Kapβ CRM1. We have recently solved the first structure of a CRM1-Leucine rich NES complex, which explains recognition of this general signal, its inhibition by antibiotic Leptomycin B and mechanisms of export complex assembly in the nucleus as well as disassembly in the cytoplasm....

Histoplasma capsulatum is thought to be the most common cause of fungal respiratory infections in the world. This organism is a primary pathogen capable of causing disease in healthy hosts as well as immunocompromised individuals. Whereas most infections experienced by healthy hosts are mild, 10% of cases of H. capsulatum infection result in life-threatening complications, such as inflammation of the pericardium and fibrosis of major blood vessels. We have recently sequenced the genomes from histoplasma strains from the two major North American clades, and two strains from the African clade with different disease manifestations. A summer project would be to conduct comparative genomic analyses between these strains, to identify polymorphisms and larger differences. This will identify genetic traits that correlate with different strains, and identify rapidly evolving regions of the genome which could contribute to pathogenesis. This is a computational biology/bioinformatics project, requiring some prior familiarity with bioinformatic tools and some programming experience, such as with perlor python.
