This research focuses on understanding the genomics and proteomics of HIV and related human retroviruses. The team has secured funding from NIH, DOD, and Snyder, and has active collaborations with GWU, NIH, and TIGR. They have published 86 peer-reviewed papers and the director leads the Genomics and Proteomics MS program.

Systems Biology • Probing genetic frameworks: What is the genomic parts list of an organism? What genes interact in concert to regulate or create a molecular interaction network? How does genetic variation influence gene expression and protein function? • Representative technologies: DNA sequencing, genotyping, large-scale gene deletion constructs; RNAi knockouts • Probing gene expression patterns: What genes are up-regulated or down-regulated in response to a genetic or environmental perturbation? What genes are expressed in what tissues under what conditions? • Representative technologies: microarrays and DNA tagging procedures • Probing DNA-protein interactions: What genes does a particular transcription factor regulate under defined experimental • conditions? • Representative technology: chromatin-immunoprecipitation and gene chips to localize binding sites (ChIP-chip) • Probing protein-protein interactions: What proteins are present in enzyme complexes, nuclear pore complexes, the • cytoskeleton? Which proteins modify other proteins in signaling cascades? • Representative technologies: two-hybrid-based interactions; affinity purification; mass spectrometry; quantitative proteomics • 5. Probing subcellular protein localization: When during development is a protein made and where in the cell does it go? • Representative technologies: cell sorting, molecular imaging based on reporter genes or antibody staining.
