Research
Focus
There are three major projects in the laboratory.
(1) Molecular genetics of signaling by the nuclear vitamin D receptor and identification of vitamin D target genes implicated in (i) its capacity to stimulate innate immune responses, and (ii) its function as an anticancer agent.
(2) Chemical biology of vitamin D analogs. In collaboration with Dr. Jim Gleason in the Chemistry Department we are developing a series of bifunctional vitamin D analogs that combine agonism for the vitamin D receptor with inhibition of histone deacetylase activity.
(3) Characterization of novel factor identified in the lab called ligand-dependent corepressor (LCoR). LCoR was identified as a repressor of signaling by nuclear receptor transcription factors.
