Biography

My research interests focus on the regulation of intracellular signaling pathways of membrane receptors, with particular emphasis on novel GTP-binding proteins. The ultimate goal is to provide a mechanism to target drugs to particular cellular signaling pathways that are relevant to therapeutic effects, while avoiding the targeting of cellular pathways that contribute to drug side effects.
