Nanjoo Suh, PhD
Title: Assistant Professor
Affiliation: Rutgers, The State University of NJ
Department: Chemical Biology
Research Interests:
Nuclear receptors, such as estrogen receptor (ER), retinoic acid receptor (RAR), retinoid X receptor (RXR), vitamin D receptor (VDR), peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs), are the transcription factors that interact directly with DNA and modulate transcription of many genes involved in carcinogenesis. Ligands for these nuclear receptors have a potential to be pharmacologically powerful and interesting agents for the treatment and prevention of cancer. Our research interests include in vitro mechanistic study of action of the ligands for nuclear receptors in cancer cells as well as in preclinical evaluation of these agents in animal models.
