Teaching Areas Medical Biochemistry: glycogen metabolism, gluconeogenesis Graduate: Protein Kinases, signal transduction, essential molecular and biochemical research methods Research Areas My main interest is in the functions of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG, cGK) in inflammation and cancer. We believe this enzyme is a novel therapeutic target in leukocytes and endothelium to affect inflammatory diseases (arthritis, asthma atheroschlerosis). We have discovered several novel anti-tumor functions of PKG and are characterising this enzyme as a potential target for future therapeutic approaches to combat colon cancer. Clinical Interests Arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, colon cancer |
