Sutirtha Datta: "I work on the mechanism of Oxidative stress induced mis-localization of Ubc9, the SUMO E2 ligase, in the Hutchinson Gilford Progeria Syndrome(HGPS). HGPS is a premature aging syndrome and a loss of nuclear SUMOylation is one of the key novel cellular phenotypes of the disease. My work involves studying organelle specific defects arising out of elevated ROS levels in HGPS, and how these lead to loss of Ubc9 nuclear localization, thereby causing a loss of nuclear SUMOylation." |

Budhaditya Banerjee: "My project: Role of MPS1 in segregation of
Chromosomes."
Barbara Merk: "I am studying STAT-5 signaling in Glioblastoma
Multiforme (GBM). Specifically, I am interested in how STAT-5 activity
modulates the proliferation, invasiveness and survival of glioma
cells." |

Colin Brinkman:
"I hope to graduate in 2010. I am studying the CD8 T cell response to
dendritic cell immunization. I am particularly interested in the
development of memory T cell subsets and the factors that control
memory lineage choice in this model." Post-doc CVRC UVA Marcin Walkiewicz: "I work on Adenovirus in Daniel Engel’s Lab. We are trying to identify additional functions of viral proteins, especially those that regulate gene expression during early-to-late switch in viral infection." Post-doc NIH, NCI Center for Cancer Research |

Angela Groehler: "My research seeks to
define the role of the Ribosomal S6 Kinase family in ovarian cancer."
Res. Assoc, U Col. Cell & Dev. Biology Joan Yuan: "I hope to graduate in 2009 (started 2004). My area of research is T cell development or more specifically, the role of c-Myb at the CD4 and CD8 double positive stage of T cell development." Post-doc NIH NIAD Madhura Lohia: "I am working on: Mechanisms that govern polarity in epithelial cells." Mingda Hang: "My research is studying the role of chromatin in gene regulation." UVA Law |

Robin Lester: My thesis is on "Breast
cancer cell migration under hypoxia". Basically, I study the signaling
pathways and receptor systems involved in stimulating breast cancer
cell migration induced by hypoxia. This is important because these
pathways may lead to disease progression and may also explain the
poorer prognosis predicted for patients whose primary tumors show
extensive areas of necrosis. Transferred to UCSD in 2004, Law office
of Asaph Abrams, San Diego Jessica Pritchard: "I study molecular Carcinogenesis." |
