Research Interests: Our laboratory is currently focused on intraperitoneal
delivery of immunoglobulin to human ovarian tumors implanted in
the anterior abdominal wall of athymic rats. We carry out in
vivo experiments and quantitate concentration profiles within
the tumors with quantitative autoradiography. This permits determination
of drug penetration within the tumor. Experiments are designed
to improve efficacy of this mode of therapy. (Keywords: tumor
transport; Intraperitoneal chemotherapy and immunotherapy; animal
models) |

Society Institutional Research Grant and I play a major administrative
role in that. |

Research Interests: Our lab research interests are in the area
of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in cardiovascular-renal system.
Cardiac tumors are rarely malignant, which we think may be due
to a cardiospecific tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-4 (TIMP-4).
This inhibitor is robustly expressed in normal healthy heart but
abrogated in failing or malignant myocardium. This inhibitor may
have relevance to other tumors where tumor malignancy can be fatal.
