Lipid Modified Polymers for Transfection of Human CRL Fibroblasts, and for siRNA Mediated MDR Reversal in Melanoma Cancer Therapy
DownloadFall 2010
Gene delivery for therapeutic purposes is quickly emerging as the best potential treatment option for inherited genetic diseases and cancer. Viral gene carriers have been the choice for this purpose due to their high efficiency, but harmful immunogenic and oncogenic host reactions have limited...

Nanodelivery of Novel Inhibitors of ERCC1/XPF for sensitizing colorectal cancer cell to platinum drugs
DownloadSpring 2023
This project's long-term goal is to increase the efficacy of genotoxic therapeutics through thesensitization of cells to DNA-damaging therapy ahead of the treatment. The focus of this projectwas on the enhancement of platinum-based chemotherapeutics in colorectal cancer usingcolorectal cancer...

Eicosapentaenoic and Docosahexaenoic Fatty Acids Modify Skeletal Muscle Fat Infiltration in an Animal Model of Colorectal Cancer Receiving Chemotherapy
DownloadSpring 2017
Background: Myosteatosis is defined as low skeletal muscle radio-density with elevated amounts of intermuscular adipose tissue, assessed using computed tomography. Myosteatosis has been recently observed to be associated with mortality in people with cancer. Previous work from our lab reported...

A Novel Comparative Analysis Approach to Personalize Chemotherapy Dose Calculation in Early Breast Cancer
DownloadFall 2018
Background Worldwide, body surface area [BSA] is used to calculate chemotherapy dose. The BSA formula was originally developed in 1916, derived from height and weight, with no consideration of other patient characteristics. Most chemotherapy agents have a narrow therapeutic index and are...

Quantitative Label-Free Comparative Proteomic Analyses of Eukaryotic Tissues via Mass Spectrometry
DownloadFall 2018
In recent years, rapid advances in genomic and transcriptomic sequencing technologies have enabled the compilation of vast libraries of protein sequences and thus an explosion in bioinformatics-based fields of research. Among these is proteomics – the study of global protein abundance within a...

Development of polymer and lipid based nano-delivery systems for targeted cancer chemotherapy
DownloadFall 2012
Conventional chemotherapy agents can kill tumor cells and inhibit tumor growth, but they produce severe side effects on normal cells at the same time. To shift the balance towards tumoral effects, it would be desirable to direct the anti-cancer drug towards tumor while restricting drug access to...
