Signal transduction, ovarian neoplasms, breast neoplasms, biological markers, tumor suppressor genes. Our laboratory has focused on the biology, detection, prevention, and treatment of epithelial ovarian and breast cancers. Over the past decade, we have found that ovarian cancer is generally a clonal disease and have focused our attention on molecular changes that occur during malignant transformation.

Research in our lab is focused on the experimental characterization of conformational fluctuations, the development and refinement of a general ensemble-based model for fluctuations, and the projection of this thermodynamic model into genomic analysis. Our goals are to unify the description of protein behaviors in such a way as to understand their relationships at the phenomenological level, to codify these relationships in a simple structure-based model, and to apply our model to a number of experimental systems that can be used to test and refine our approach.

Kavraki's group develops computational tools on high-performance systems to model protein structure and function, understand biomolecular interactions and help analyze, in the long run, the molecular machinery of the cell. This is done by integrating sequence information with three-dimensional structural information to capture, represent and exploit relevant molecular motion. Of particular interest are the identification of three-dimensional functional motifs in protein databases, docking of flexible molecules to flexible receptors, computer-assisted drug discovery, and the understanding and compact representation of structural changes in large biomolecular machines.

Simulation of supermolecular complexes; computer-aided drug-design. Our group is using combined experimental and computational methods to study the fusion mechanisms of influenza virus, especially the hemagglutinin-mediated cell membrane fusion. Of particular interest is to derive structural information for intermediates along the pH-triggered conformational transition, which is an extremely difficult problem. We will employ a suite of biophysical techniques including various imagining methods and computer simulation techniques.

Bio-organic chemistry, peptide and peptidomimetic chemistry, structure-guided drug design, protein-protein interaction, enzyme inhibitor design. Our work concerns the design of inhibitors of important protein-protein interactions with the overall goal of developing chemotherapeutic agents as well as reagents to probe signal transduction mechanisms. Our current targets are the STAT (signal transduction and activator of transcription) proteins. Our strategy is to find high affinity peptides to inhibit target protein-protein interactions, determine which parts of the peptide contributes to binding energy, determine the bound conformation, then combine this information to develop small molecule inhibitors that mimic the action of the peptide. Another strategy is screening a small molecule library to find leads.

Our research program aims to identify the mechanisms by which normal cells (lymphocytes) and tumor cells (ovarian and breast cancer) perceive and respond to their environment. The mission of the laboratory is to understand the mechanisms by which signal transduction is linked to proliferation, invasion, and programmed cell death in T lymphocytes and in breast and ovarian cancer.We recently identified a unique phospholipid growth factor, OCAF, in the ascites of ovarian cancer patients. We will explore the role of OCAF in early diagnosis, establishment of prognosis, monitoring of therapy, and therapy of breast and ovarian cancer patients.

Dr. Watowich has long-standing interest in virus structure, function, host-responses to infection, and antiviral drug development. The laboratory has solved the crystal structures of individual non-structural and structural proteins from alphaviruses, and carried out biochemical and biophysical studies of flavivirus and alphavirus proteins. Structures of intact RNA viruses and their assembly mechanisms are studied by electron cryomicroscopy, image reconstruction, and biophysical techniques. Structure-based computational drug discovery, in vitro inhibition assays, and cell- based replication assays are used to develop antiviral agents.
