Developing a hybrid process for the production of olefins from glucose using cellular and heterogeneous catalysis
In a collaboration with Paul Dauenhauer's group at the University of Minnesota through the NSF Center for Sustainable Polymers, we have developed a new strategy to deoxygenate hydrocarbons produced by microbial fermentation of glucose using simple Lewis acid catalysis.
APOBEC3A – a causative agent in cancer-related chromosomal instability and STING driven metastasis
Chromosomal instability (CIN) is a hallmark of cancer and has been associated with a highly metastatic phenotype in numerous cancers. We identified a novel function for APOBEC3A in the initiation of CIN featuring enhanced, STING-dependent, distant organ seeding, and metastatic growth.
