Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major cause of cancer death worldwide, accounting for over half a million deaths per year. Chronic infections with hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) viruses have been recognized as main human liver carcinogens. Multiple non-viral factors have also been implicated in the development of HCC. The development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and liver fibrosis represent high risk factors for HCC. Remarkably, we recently found that cyclophilin inhibitors suppress the development of viral-induced and non-viral-induced liver fibrosis and HCC in mouse models. However, their mechanisms of action are totally unknown.
SARS-CoV-2 is currently a major cause of death worldwide. Although vaccines are emerging, new therapies are urgently required. We recently developed a novel approach that permits the killing of SARS-CoV-2-infected cells while preserving non-infected cells. This new approach exploits the viral replication machinery (specifically the SARS-CoV-2 polymerase) to induce the expression of killer genes (diphtheria toxin fragment A) which triggers a rapid specific death of viral-infected cells, but not non-infected cells.

The lab is developing new, general approaches to control the site and timing of enzyme activity. Enzymes have great potential as therapeutic and diagnostic agents due to their high specificity and catalytic activity, but the ability to better control the timing and location of enzyme function would enable the use of a wider variety of enzymes for therapeutic purposes. Our approach for enzyme programming relies on attaching an enzyme to its small-molecule inhibitor through an allosteric DNA tether. Upon interaction of the DNA tether with its complement strand, the ensuing conformational change activates the enzyme by dislodging the inhibitor from its active site. We have established the utility of DNA-programmed intrasterically-regulated enzymes in developing constructs for fast, sensitive, and PCR-independent isothermal detection of label-free nucleic acid sequences; carrying out complex logic operations; programming the activity of streptokinase, a clinically-used fibrinogen activator; and specifically killing targeted cancer cells. We are seeking qualified candidates who can join our multidisciplinary team of scientists to lead this broad research effort.
