D.Research Experience

List all projects you’ve been involved in, the broad objectives and the resulting findings.

(example)

  1. Project Title: Roles of Reactive Oxygen Species in B Cell Lymphoma Fate

Start/End Dates: 10/1/2011-

Project Status:Ongoing

Project Lead: Dr. Gregory B. Carey

Role:Principal Investigator

Major Goals: The major goals of this project are to explore the role of SOD1 and the mechanisms that dynamically regulate this critical RedOx protein in B cell lymphoma life and death decisions.

Major Findings:

  1. Project Title: Selective Targeting of MEK and Akt in Lymphoma and Myeloma Apoptosis

Start/End Dates: 07/1/2007 - 10/1/2011

Project Status: Completed and some results published. See C, item 2.

Project Leads: Dr. Gregory Carey and Hanako Daino

Role:Principal Investigator

Major Goals: The major goals of this project were to determine the mechanism of ROS-mediated deactivation and cleavage of MEK and Akt signaling proteins during apoptosis.

Major Findings: Our major findings were that select, terminal oxidation of MEK and Akt proteins resulted in their dephosphorylaion by protein phosphatase 1 and caspase-mediated cleavage. See publication #2 and presentation # 3 for more information.
