Katerina Akassoglou
University of California, San Diego
My lab studies molecular and cellular mechanisms that are dictated by the extracellular environment after vascular damage and regulate degenerative and repair processes upon injury or disease. Our ultimate goal is to use these interactions in a therapeutic manner for tissue repair and regeneration.

Michele Calos
Stanford University School of Medicine, Associate Professor
My laboratory is developing new methods for gene therapy. We focus on non-viral approaches that include site-specific integration of the therapeutic gene into the genome. We are using the integrase enzyme from phage phiC31 to achieve integration into mammalian genomes at a limited number of sites.

Anastasia Kralli
The Scripps Research Institute, Assistant Professor
Our studies focus on the receptor cofactors that modulate steroid signaling and can confer specificity and/or regulation. Using genetic screens in yeast, we have identified proteins that downregulate hormone response (e.g. Pdr5p, Lem3p, and Erg6p), as well as mammalian modulators that enhance glucocorticoid signaling (e.g. the molecular chaperone p23, the chromatin assembly factor ASF1, and the transcriptional coactivator PGC-1). Understanding the mechanism of action of modulators may reveal novel intervention ways for activating, suppressing or altering the specificity of hormone action.

Eleftherios Makris
University of California at Davis, Post-doctoral researcher
I am interested in orthopadic research. In our lab we investigate the molecular and biomechanical properties of articular cartilage in experimental models of osteoarthritis. We particularly focus on : articular cartilage regeneration, tissue engineering of articular cartilage and tissue engineering of the knee meniscus.
