Professional Statement

My laboratory is interested in delineating the molecular mechanisms that link proteasome-mediated protein degradation to nuclear receptor mediated gene expression and coactivator function. As a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Bert O’Malley’s group, I was able to establish that the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is required for efficient transcription mediated through the estrogen receptor and other nuclear receptors. These studies established that the proteasome has complex and dynamic effects on the function of steroid receptor coactivator (SRC) family members. My current interests are focused on taking advantage of these basic findings to design high throughput small molecule inhibitors (SMIs) to target these coactivators. Given the pleiotropic roles of SRC family coactivators in cancer, energy metabolism and reproduction, we plan to develop novel coactivator-targeting compounds as therapeutic agents to treat or control these broad pathological and physiological states. Through high throughput screening of small molecule compound libraries, we have identified agents that are able to inhibit SRC function.
