Research interest is to understand the signaling mechanisms of steroid hormones in general and estrogens in particular. The dissection of hormone signaling pathways is critical for the elucidation of the relative importance of each pathway in physiology and pathophysiology of target tissue functions. A better conceptualization of regulatory mechanisms for hormone signaling also provides a basis for the development of novel therapeutic approaches for estrogen target tissue malignancies.
