Utz Herbig, Ph.D.

Role: Principal Investigator

NIH - National Cancer Institute

R01 CA136533-01A2

07/01/10-06/31/15

Title: "Tumor Suppression by Telomere Dysfunction Induced Senescence"


This study characterizes the contribution of Telomere Dysfunction-Induced cellular Senescence (TDIS) to suppressing cancer growth in humans.

 

 

Teresa Wood, Ph.D.

Role: Principal Investigator

United States Department of Defense

W81XWH-10-1-0678

08/15/10-09/14/11

Title: "TSC Regulates Oligodendroglial Differentiation and Myelination in the CNS"

 

The goal of this project is to test the hypothesis that critical aspects of neurological dysfunction in some forms of Tuberosclerosis Complex (TSC) are due to disruption of oligodendrocyte differentiation and the production of myelin.

 

 

Edouard Azzam, Ph.D.

Role: Principal Investigator

NIH - National Cancer Institute

P01 CA049062-19

08/01/10-07/31/15

Title: "Intercellular Communication and the Radiation-Induced Bystander Effect"

 

The project focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying the role of intercellular communication in propagation of radiation-induced stressful effects; the outcome of the research may provide insight into potentiating the benefits of cancer radiotherapy by enhancing its killing effects and protecting against the propagation of damaging effects to healthy tissue.

 

 

Steven Levison, Ph.D.

Role: Principal Investigator

NIH - National Institute of Child Health and Human Development

R01 HD052064-01A2

5/1/2010-4/31/2014

Title: "Glial Dysgenesis in the Injured Developing Brain"

 

The goal of this grant is to evaluate the roles of injury induced cytokines, especially TGFß1, in the aberrant differentiation of SVZ glial progenitors after neonatal H/I.
