Research Specialty
Proteomic biomarkers for cancer detection and diagnosis; analysis and mechanisms of cell injury by reactive electrophiles
Research Description
Dr. Liebler’s research program addresses two broad problems that are linked by the application of analytical proteomics technologies, particularly mass spectrometry. The first problem is the development of protein biomarkers as diagnostics for early cancer detection and for guiding therapy of established disease. Application of standardized mass spectrometry-based proteomics technology platforms enables discovery and analytical validation of candidate biomarkers in human clinical specimens. Current work is directed at development of plasma-based diagnostics for early detection of colon and lung cancer and tumor tissue-based diagnostics for identifying high-risk cancers and predicting response to therapy.
The second problem is the role protein damage by reactive electrophiles in chemical toxicity and disease processes. This work involves development of methods to analyze modified and damaged proteins and to assess the impact of protein damage by reactive chemicals. Major areas of current focus are the characterization of global protein modification by endogenous lipid electrophiles in oxidative stress and the identification of signaling sensors targeted by electrophiles and the mechanisms by which chemical modification of these sensor proteins initiate stress responses.
