Mouse in vitro/in vivo skin graft, transgenic and knock-out models are being used to define early events that are maintained or further altered in malignancy, as predictors of outcomes and as targets for molecular therapies for epithelial solid tumors of skin and head & neck. The position offers opportunity for fellowship on an NCI Training Program on the Molecular Basis of Skin/Mucosa Pathobiology. Methods and approaches include specialized epidermal cell culture, genetic mouse models, immunostaining, live cell imaging of fluorescent tagged proteins, chromatin immunoprecipitation, cell based, and cell free recombinant, protein-protein interaction, ubiquitylation and sumoylation assays, luciferase reporter assays and cell fate assays (e.g. cell death mechanism, proliferation), as well as translational evaluation of cytokine, protein/antigen expression and protein activity in human biopsy specimens. Additional approaches include microarray, genetic polymorphisms/sequencing of relevant genes and preclinical assessment of small molecules to interfere with E3 ligase regulated pathways. Our program offers opportunity for future translation of basic research to clinical trial.
