We are interested in mentoring medical <strong>residents</strong>. My <strong>research</strong> investigates the role <strong>of</strong> oncogene<br />
transcription factors, in particular the c-Rel proto-oncogene, in the immune system and in tumorigenesis.<br />
An ongoing project is to investigate the mechanism by which Rel/NF-kB is involved in the pathogenesis<br />
<strong>of</strong> chronic lymphocytic leukemia, multiple myeloma, and lymphoma. Our studies have provided first<br />
pro<strong>of</strong>-<strong>of</strong>-concept that c-Rel is an exciting therapeutic target <strong>for</strong> inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and<br />
transplantation rejection. My team is currently developing inhibitors <strong>of</strong> oncogenic transcription factors<br />
with the goal to develop novel therapies <strong>for</strong> autoimmune diseases and cancer.<br />
