Assessment of epigenetic and metabolic affectors in whole-cell biology using advanced "-omic" technologies
Research includes identifying metabolic effects of low dose (<10cGY) ionizing radiation in skin of different inbred mouse strains. Strains show remarkable variability in genome-wide transcription affecting humoral immunity, cell cycling, apoptosis and the intracellular signaling cascade. Using microarrays and bionanotechnology, we are examining the response of cells impaled onto vector-derivitized carbon nanofibers. Surviving impaled cells are spatially fixed and express proteins via this transfection method. A novel mechanism of celluar damage assessment associated with membrane healing is being investigated. Other interests include identifying control of cell determination events during differentiation of pluripotent (hematopoietic) and omnipotent (embryonic) mouse stem cells. Genes and miRNA involved in determination will be studied simultaneously on microarrays. Finally, novel informatics and array technologies are being developed for high-throughput cellular analyses.
