Josephine Nalbantoglu, PhD
Josephine Nalbantoglu s鈥檌nt茅resse 脿 la g茅n茅tique mol茅culaire de la maladie d鈥橝lzheimer, 脿 la r茅gulation de l鈥檈xpression g茅nique dans le syst猫me nerveux et 脿 la th茅rapie g茅nique pour les tumeurs au cerveau. Pour l鈥櫭﹖ude du r么le du m茅tabolisme et du d茅p么t de l鈥檃mylo茂de dans la maladie d鈥橝lzheimer, son laboratoire a g茅n茅r茅 des souris transg茅niques qui expriment un fragment du pr茅curseur du peptide 脽-amylo茂de humain (APP). Les souris manifestent des signes de l茅sion tissulaire et de d茅ficits comportementaux qui sont analogues aux changements survenant dans la maladie d鈥橝lzheimer. Elle a aussi 茅tudi茅 le contr么le de l鈥檈xpression g茅nique de l鈥橝PP en caract茅risant d鈥檌mportantes s茅quences r茅gulatrices de g猫nes et les prot茅ines qui s鈥檡 lient. Elle collabore avec le DrGeorge Karpati 脿 la th茅rapie g茅nique 脿 m茅diation par ad茅novirus de gliomes et de m茅dulloblastomes exp茅rimentaux au moyen de g猫nes suppresseurs de tumeur et de g猫nes suicides.
