The lab theme is to determine how tyrosine kinases, phosphatases, demethylases and nuclear receptors regulates epigenetic processes that affect cellular homeostasis, immune impairment and cancer cell survival. Current Projects in Lab Epigenetic signaling in dampening immune response to tumors Characterization of new subsets of T cells and neutrophils Androgen regulated immune response Characterization of KDM6 inhibitors New `dual’ therapeutic molecules Major findings of our lab include: Discovered 5 new epigenetic events: Identified a novel lncRNA, NXTAR Developed inhibitor for ACK1, (R)-9b Identified AKT Tyr176-phosphorylation Identified AR Lys609-acetylation Identified a new class of KDM6 inhibitor
