      Department of Clinical Cancer Prevention, Division of Cancer Prevention and Population Sciences

      About Dr. Abhijit Mazumdar

      The goal of the proposed research is to investigate the effective preventive therapies for ER negative breast cancer using high throughput screening of siRNA kinase library when combined with rexinoid. I have the expertise and motivation to successfully carry out the proposed research project. I have a broad research background in developing novel molecular-targets for cancer prevention and therapeutics including laboratory-based identification and validation of targets. I have been extensively trained in cell and molecular cancer biology and would like to utilize my expertise in cancer prevention and in targeted therapy. In summary I will be interested in the projects in cancer prevention involving kinases activated in cancer and their inhibition in combination with rexinoids.
