New Professors
Dr. Kathleen DeCiccco-Skinner is interested in Inflammatory response and molecular biology of lung cancer. She uses microarray analysis of genes and proteins to study changes to abnormal lung cancer cells that are treated with potential chemotherapeutic agents. Contact her at decicco@american.edu.
Dr. David Angelini is interested in developmental genetics in the context of evolution in animal form. By exploring the function, regulation and evolutionary history of genes, as well as their networks of interactions, morphological structures can be understood in terms of the developmental changes that have led to animal diversity. Insects and other arthropods have been my focus, particularly beetles, in which I’m currently exploring the functional diversity and evolution of genes controlling the development of appendages. Email him at angelini@american.edu.
