Mapping Cbl-b Binding Site on NRG1 Activated ErbB4 Kinase
Megan Wynalda IUUR STEM Summer Research Program Major: Neuroscience and Kinesiology Mentor: Cary Lai The goal of this study was to gain an improved understanding of NRG1 signaling through its receptor, ErbB4. The genes encoding NRG1 and ErbB4 have been identified as risk factors for the neuropsychiatric disorder, schizophrenia. This study focused on the… Read more »
Targeting Folate Receptor Beta By SDM
Michael Whippo IUUR STEM Summer Research Program Major: Chemistry Mentors: Charles Dann III, Morgan Nyman, Martha Oakley, and Melissa Blunck Designing anticancer treatments that target specific receptors could lead to less toxic and more effective therapeutics. Folate receptor beta (FRβ) is known to be overexpressed in tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and can serve as a… Read more »
