Thomas Kodadek

BIOGRAPHY

ACADEMIC POSITION:
Professor: Department of Chemistry and Cancer Biology, Scripps Florida Research Institute

EDUCATION:
BS, Chemistry, University of Miami, FL
PhD, Organic Chemistry, Stanford University

RESEARCH INTERESTS:
The Kodadek Laboratory focuses on understanding and manipulating biological pathways important in various disease states. Our approach relies heavily on chemical methods and a major goal in each of the biological areas of interest is to develop compounds that serve as leads for drug development or can be employed as tools for mechanistic studies. The three areas of biology currently under investigation are: 1) autoimmune diseases and lymphomas, 2) the involvement of the proteasome in transcription and 3) the function of the hormone orexin in narcolepsy, diabetes and other diseases.
