Research Interest

The focus of his research over the past few years has been to elucidate the mechanism (s) of activation of transcription factors NF-κB and STAT3 by carcinogens and inflammatory agents and the identification of novel inhibitors of NF-κB and STAT3 for prevention of and therapy for cancer. From natural sources, his group has identified numerous small molecules that can suppress NF-κB and STAT3 activation and inhibit TNF/IL-6 signaling.
