We are interested in mentoring medical residents. My research investigates the role of oncogene transcription factors, in particular the c-Rel proto-oncogene, in the immune system and in tumorigenesis. An ongoing project is to investigate the mechanism by which Rel/NF-kB is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, multiple myeloma, and lymphoma. Our studies have provided first proof-of-concept that c-Rel is an exciting therapeutic target for inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and transplantation rejection. My team is currently developing inhibitors of oncogenic transcription factors with the goal to develop novel therapies for autoimmune diseases and cancer.
