Research Interest

Environmental carcinogen-induced cell signaling pathways and chemical carcinogenesis. Discovery of novel drug targets (STAT-3, NF-kB, HER2, MCL-1, AKT/FOXO, GLI1/2) and their signaling pathways and drug leads such as capsaicin, piperlongumine, penfluridol, isothiocyanates, diindolylmethane, panabinostat and vemurafinib in pancreatic, ovarian, breast, melanoma and brain cancer.
