RYBP, MMP-2, Epigenetic, DNA Repair, ribosomal RNA
United States

Biography

My current research utilizes various pharmacological, biochemical and molecular biology techniques, with emphasis on their applications to study epigenetic in cancer biology, oxidative stress damage to the heart & DNA damage repair. By exploiting the state-of-the-art imaging and structural methods including; live-cell imaging, super-resolution microscopy and NMR spectroscopy, I am working to unravel epigenetic and non-epigenetic roles of RYBP in DNA repair and cancer biology. Knowing that DNA repair is one mechanism allows cancer cell to resist therapy; this theme of my research has potential implications in cancer therapeutics.

The novel epigenetic role of the protease, MMP-2, in ribosomal RNA biogenesis, nucleolus function and gene expression in osteosarcoma is also under active investigation which could open new avenues for the deployment of nuclear MMP-2 inhibitors as anti-metastasis in pediatric oncology.

I published 20 manuscripts in prestigious peer-reviewed journals including Circulation, Cell Reports, FEBS Journal and been invited to give over 15 presentations in both national and international conferences. I served as a reviewer of peer-reviewed journals e.g. British Journal of Pharmacology, Frontiers in Oncology & Journal of Cellular Physiology.

I am also a licensed clinical pharmacist (Alberta College of Pharmacy). My practice focused on providing pharmaceutical care to special populations: pediatrics, older adults, HIV and opioid use disorder patients.
