Research

Novel trans-Golgi network signal transduction and autocrine transformation by the v-sis/c-sis oncogene, and the role of the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) type V in the biological functions of TGF-β.

Research Interests

The areas of research in this laboratory are: 1) autocrine transformation by the v-sis/c-sis oncogene and novel trans-Golgi network (TGN) signal transduction, and 2) role of the transforming growth factor ß (TGF-ß) type V receptor (TR-V) in the biological functions of TGF-ß.
