Research Area

Research is concerned with the molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation, particularly as this process relates to cancer. Various important enzyme systems involved with polyamine metabolism are being studied with biochemical and molecular biological techniques in order to design both nutritional and new drug therapies for the prevention and treatment of cancer.
