Using Protein Chemistry to Better Understand Bleeding Disorders
How is your body able to control bleeding?When there is some sort of trauma to a blood vessel that results in bleeding, the body’s normal mechanism to form a blood clot kicks into action. Platelets, a type of blood cell, reach the area in need of a clot...
The Pollock lab utilizes chemical biology techniques, biochemical methods, and organic synthesis to understand breast cancer and inflammatory disease development and progression. In particular, we are interested in nuclear receptor function, phosphorylation signaling pathways, design of prodrugs, and the link between cancer and inflammation. We have a lot of collaborators on and off campus so we can expand our scientific discoveries.
