Research Projects in Progress:
Insect
Research
Exploit a fundamental understanding of insect developmental biology for
the control of insect pests.
Develop site-directed inhibitors for enzymes involved in juvenile
hormone metabolism.
Design chemical and biochemical agents for the disruption of insect
development.
Use cloned proteins expressed in baculovirus vectors for insect
control.
Investigate regulation of endocrine events at the molecular level.
Mammalian Research
Examine effect of hepatic enzymes on foreign compounds in diet
& the influence of these compounds on hepatic enzymes.
Examine the mechanism of action of nongenotoxic carcinogens &
their influence on esterases, epoxide hydrolases, & glutathione
transferases.
Design selective inhibitors, substrates & purification systems
for hepatic esterases & epoxide hydrolases.
Clone and hyper-express esterases and epoxide hydrolases for structural
and toxicological studies.
Immunochemistry
Develop the technologies for application of immunochemistry to
toxicological & environmental research.
Develop mono- and polyclonal based immunoassays for environmental
contaminants.
Develop immunoassay systems to evaluate human exposure.
Explore monoclonal, polyclonal and cloned antibodies for biosensor
development.
