The research in my lab revolves around the designing biocompatible, biodegradable therapeutic polymers for specific disease states. I believe that nanotherapeutics, utilizing smart drug delivery systems offers us new and innovative ways to treat disease states w......

Our research is focused on understanding the regulation of antimicrobial peptide expression by the vitamin D pathway. When immune cells called macrophages encounter a pathogen and become activated, the vitamin D pathway is turned on, leading to the induction of the cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide if serum levels of vitamin D are sufficient. We have shown that this mechanism is conserved in humans and primates but not in other mammals. Therefore, we developed a transgenic mouse that carries......

Aleksandra Sikora, PhD. Associate Professor of Pharmacoproteomics in the College of Pharmacy at Oregon State University (Corvallis, Oregon, USA) is a microbiologist with experience in bacterial pathogenesis, proteomics, and high-throughput screening for identification of new antimicrobials. She currently focuses on proteomics-driven antigen mining to develop gonorrhea vaccine(s) as well as identification of new antibiotics targeting drug-resistant bacterial infections.

Dr. Sikora rece......

Cell signaling, skin development, stem cell biology, inflammatory skin disease, melanoma, tumor microenvironment, Mouse genetics, and transcriptional regulation.

Our laboratory is investigating into the mechanisms of skin development in space and time from stem cells using mouse genetic......

Chrissa Kioussi investigates the molecular strategies responsible for organ development and regeneration. Her work has uncovered roles of genes that regulate cell fate, organ architecture and body homeostasis. She uses mouse models to understand the molecular mechanisms and signals that embryos normally use to make muscle. These strategies link regulated gene response to other cellular response systems during ......

Dr. Hamby received his B.S. in Physics(w/honors) from Mercer University in 1984. He received his M.S. in Health Physics from University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in 1986. He received his Ph.D. in Health Physics, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in 1989.

Dr. Hamby has been at OSU since 1999 and is currently ......

My research program blends studies of synthetic methods with the total synthesis of natural products and other complex molecules. The goal of our work is to develop new strategies in synthesis and then apply them to the elaboration of targets where particular structural features present a significant challenge.

The laboratory of Dr. Bermudez is interested in the mechanisms of the pathogenesis of intracellular bacteria, with focus on mycobacteria.  Mycobacteria are a common cause of infections in humans and animals.  Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects a third of the world population and is responsible for 3 million deaths annually.  Mycobacterium avium, an environmental bacterium, commonly causes disseminated disease in patients with Acquired Immu......

Dr. Mehl obtained his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Cornell University and postdoctoral position with Professor Schultz at Scripps Research Institute. He earned tenure and Associate Professor while developing a biochemistry program at Franklin & Marshall College from 2002-2011. In 2011 Dr. Mehl became Associate Professor at Oregon State University and Director of the worlds first Unnatural Protein Facil......

Dr. Zabriskie is the dean of the College of Pharmacy at Oregon State University. Research in his laboratory focuses on the biosynthesis of nonribosomal peptide and peptidyl nucleoside antibiotics. All of the compounds being studied are effective in treating various drug resistant bacterial infections and most are produced by Streptomyces spp. soil bacteria. Representative target compounds include the antitubercular......
