Research focuses on the effects ofwounding of the ovarian surface epithelium as a risk factor forincreasing ovarian cancer. Experiments will investigate the repair ofthe ovarian surface using immunohistochemical techniques. For breastcancer, the focus is on characterizing the distribution, clearance, andimaging efficacy of new MRI contrast agents specific for hormonereceptor positive cancers. For both projects, the successful candidatewill help investigate mechanisms of in vitro and in vivo activities,especially those related to cell proliferation, apoptosis, extracellularmatrix remodeling, and invasion. Applicant will be responsible forconducting experiments using cell culture, organ culture, and animalmodel systems.
