Research Interests or Exprtise
Our research interests focus on the general theme of biological oxidations and oxidative stress, with particular interest in defining mechanisms by which lipid peroxidation byproducts result in structural and functional modification of proteins and other biomolecules. Research in the laboratory ranges from model in vitro systems to studies that correlate antioxidant status and lipid peroxidation biomarkers in humans. We also have an ongoing interest in the study of the cytochrome P-450 dependent steroid hydroxylases and the protein-protein interactions essential for steroidogenic electron transport among flavoproteins, iron-sulfur proteins, and heme proteins in these systems.
