http://chip.uconn.edu/person/lisa-holle-pharmd-bcop/ |
lisa.holle@uconn.edu | My current research
interests include those which evaluate the impact of oncology pharmacy
practice services on patient care, adherence to and patient
education/understanding of appropriate use of orally administered oncology
medications supportive care treatments. My practice site is at UConn Health's
Carole and Ray Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center in Farmington, CT where I
work in a team-based medical oncology clinic. I'm part of UConn's Institute
for Collaboration on Health, Intervention and Policy (InCHIP;
http://chip.uconn.edu/) and UConn's PRISM Collaborative (transforming the
future of pharmacy through performance improvement for safe medication
management
(http://pharmacy.uconn.edu/research/centers-collaboratives/prism/). Ongoing and future projects will focus on the patient-related outcomes of oncology pharmacy practice care within a team-based approach and pharmacist-led education and cancer risk-assessment/screening in the community pharmacy setting. Past research has included the impact of drug shortages on cancer care; collaborative cancer therapy and supportive care clinical trials in the hematopoietic stem cell and oncology setting; and quality improvement research related to oncology medication safety. |

http://compsysmed.org | veralicona@uchc.edu | My research group works
on a variety of problems within the fields of computational systems medicine,
computational systems biology, mathematical biology and bioinformatics. We
focus on the design and software development of mathematical algorithms for the
mathematical modeling, simulation, analysis and control of biological
networks such as gene regulatory networks, signal transduction networks and
functional brain networks. While the mathematical tools we employ are varied,
many of the approaches we develop have a flavor of fields such as discrete
mathematics (graph theory and combinatorics) and algebra. Areas of
application include cancer research, immunology and neuroscience. |

| Daniel Rosenberg | UCONN Health Center | Center for Molecular Medicine | http://facultydirectory.uchc.edu/profile?profileId=Rosenberg-Daniel | rosenberg@uchc.edu | I have over 30 years of
experience in cancer research, focusing on the acquisition of early somatic
mutations and their biological fate in the colonic mucosa. We use both
powerful mouse genetic models of cancer initiation, as well as biopsy
specimens from a large ongoing human trial being conducted at the UCONN
School of Medicine. We have published a series of papers in 2106 detailing
the early molecular changes that accompany early neoplasia in the human
colon, including epigenetic and transcriptional modifications that we believe
both contribute to, and impair, tumor progression. We also have a
longstanding interest in the role of bioactive lipids, including the
prostaglandins, in cancer initiation and promotion. We have developed a panel
of mouse genetic models to study PGE2 and its role in carcinogenesis. My
laboratory also has employed the use of organoid cultures to generate a
tractable system to study colonic stem cell function. Finally, we have
several ongoing studies that define the contribution of the nutritional
environment on cancer pathogenesis. |
