Research Laboratory
The research in the laboratory is directed towards elucidating the role of calmodulin in several signal transduction pathways. Novel calmodulin targets are studied. The major areas of interest are the disruption of the normal signaling pathways that result in cancer and microbial pathogenesis. A diverse array of biochemical, cell biological, and molecular biological approaches are used in these investigations.
