Metabolic reprogramming is now firmly established as a hallmark of cancer

We now want to know how gelsolin and gelsolin-like proteins behave in living cells. We are developing a fluorescence energy transfer reporter to monitor gelsolin activation in live cells.

The application of Focused Ultrasound (FUS) coupled with IV administration of microbubbles is a unique method whereby localized opening of the BBB can be achieved in a non-invasive manner.

We focus on the lipid kinases that synthesize PIP2 (phosphatidylinositol phosphate 5 kinases, PIP5Ks) and PI4P (phosphatidylinositol 4 kinases, PI4Ks), as well as the regulatory proteins that respond to PIP2 and PI4P.
