Development of intestinal organoids as tissue surrogates: Cell composition and epigenetic control of differentiation.From left to right: Brian Aneskievich, Charles Giardina, Joerg Graf, Lawrence HightowerPresentation on the regulation of Cox-2 activation in colon cancer cells.

Research overview

My laboratory studies the inter- and intra-cellular signaling events required for maintaining the structure and function of intestinal epithelium, with a focus on those events involved in epithelial cell proliferation and death.
 
We are also trying to understand the molecular mechanisms of transcription factor regulation by chemical and physical injury.
