Brenda Eustace (PhD) employed a proteome-wide screen to identify
novel proteins involved in cancer metastasis. She is currently a
staff scientist at Vertex Pharmaceuticals.
Patrick Finn (PhD) studied the role of ketone bodies in starvation-induced
activation of hepatic protein degradation. He is now a staff scientist
at Genzyme Corporation.
Keith Merdek (PhD) investigated cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion.
He is now a postdoctoral fellow working on cell biology of colonic
epithelia at UMass Medical Center.
Kari Wojtanik (PhD) studied the role the the Niemann-Pick C1 protein
in lipid transport. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow working
on adipocyte triglyceride metabolism at NIDDK.
Recent Past Postdoctoral Trainees
Ana Maria Cuervo (MD/PhD) studied how hepatic proteins are targeted to
lysosomes for degradation. She is now an Associate Professor at Albert
Einstein College of Medicine.
Parmesh Dutt (PhD) examined the involvement of G proteins in the activation
of Rho GTPases. He is now an investigator at NIAID.
Robert Hauptschein (MD/PhD) developed a high throughput screen to identify
proteins that modulate FasL-induced apoptosis. He is currently a research
associate at TUSM.
