Currently I'm working on a collaborative effort between MIT, HMS, and Pfizer to explore signaling networks of liver cells using a systems biology approach.
Applications of this research is on drug development, efficacy, and toxicity. I have also accepted a lecturer position at the National Technical University
of Athens (starting on Feb 2008). My research in Athens will focus on systems biology and bioengineering.

We study the structure and function of apoptotic protein interactions that regulate life and death decisions in the cell. We aim to develop novel pharmacological strategies and compounds to prevent protein interactions that cause cancer and cardiovascular disease and translate them into therapies.We employ a multidisciplinary approach spanning chemistry, structural biology, biochemistry, cell biology and in vivo studies.

Understanding the signaling pathways that mediate cardiac developmental processes may reveal important clues into the cellular and molecular pathogenesis of heart disease. Specifically, we want to understand how protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) relate to cardiac development and disease. Our lab's research efforts focus on developmental biology, in vivo analysis of in mouse systems, including disease models, and cardiac biology and stem cell research using primary cultures. Currently, we are studying mouse models in which we can assess the molecular pathogenesis of the cardiac defects associated with Noonan (NS) and LEOPARD (LS) Syndromes, pediatric disorders both attributed primarily to mutations in Shp2, the SH2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase

The Kyriakis laboratory studies the mechanisms by which growth, inflammatory and stress stimuli alter cell function. We are interested in how polypeptide mitogens and proinflammatory cytokines trigger activation of protein kinases and, in turn, how these protein kinases influence gene expression. We are also interested in dissecting the biological functions of specific protein kinase and gene regulatory pathways. Our work is focused especially on the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). We believe that elucidating these pathways, and their biological functions will enable the identification of novel drug targets and the development of improved treatments for diseases such as atherosclerosis, cancer,arthritis and the complications of diabetes.

Alex Mitsialis
Harvard Medical School, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics
Alex Mitsialis and his colleagues are focusing on oxygen-regulated genes and on gene families that are essential in mounting lung responses to
injury, repair, tissue remodeling, and oxygen homeostasis. Dr. Mitsialis is examining gene expression associated with the activity of the enzyme Heme Oxygenase-1 (HO-1). When oxygen levels are low, the gene for HO-1 is turned on. The induction of HO-1 stimulates the production of carbon monoxide and biliverdin (the precursor of the antioxidant bilirubin), both of which may help prevent lung damage. If researchers can establish a correlation between specific versions of the HO-1 gene and clinical responses to treatment, it might be possible to predict which preterm infants would be more likely to benefit from a specific therapy.
