Current Projects
1. Development and Use of NO-adapted cell lines for the study of nitric oxide and free radicals in carcinogenesis2. Immune dys-regulation in rheumatoid arthritis
Research Summary
My primary work centers on understanding the role of free radicals, largely produced by cells of the body's immune system, can actually promote the development and progression of cancer.
In addition, I collaborate with research groups at other institutions to understand how the body's immune system turns against itself, to produce autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Extensive Research Description
1. The role of nitric oxide and oxidative stress in carcinogenesis
2. Clinical studies and animal models of rheumatoid arthritis
