Education:
Ph.D., Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Courses Taught at ACP:
Organic Chemistry I & II
Seminar I & II
Pharmaceutical Analytical Techniques I
Research Interests:
Our research goals are focused on characterization of the physiologic roles that lipids and lipid-derived mediators play in normal and pathological bladder conditions, particularly bladder pathology associated with partial outlet obstruction secondary to benign prostate hyperplasia. Our work includes characterization of lipids and lipid-derived mediators, metabolic enzymes in lipid pathways, and more recently oxidatively modified lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. Our research projects also include the synthesis of biologically active molecules designed for treatment of ischemic bladder diseases.
