| Fatah Kashanchi and his Lab moved to GWUMC from
New Jersey Medical School January of 2001. The laboratory is
focused on Genomics, Proteomics, Bioinformatics of AIDS and
adult T-cell leukemia. Dr. Kashanchi's lab is currently working
with NIH, TIGR, and Celera labs to develop "Viral Chips",
and "Protein Chips" for diagnostics and new virus
discovery. Kashanchi has been funded since the time he left
NIH intramural program (early 1998), and been awarded two NIH
grants and a prestigious award from Alexandrine and Alexander
Sinsheimer Foundation, located in New York City. He also was
awarded equipment grants (Affymetrix Gene Chip System and Flow
Cytometry) from NIH. He has acquired close to $2.8 million in
external funding. Dr. Kashanchi is the director of the new program
for the M.S. Degree in Genomics and Bioinformatics at GWU (http://www.gwumc.edu/bioinformatics),
which was recently formed in collaboration with Profs. Peter
Hotez (Chairman of Microbiology), Allan Goldstein (Chairman
of Biochemistry), and Bhagi Narahari (Chairman of Computer Sciences).
He has published 51 papers in the last 12 years (all on PubMed)
and advised 7 students (5 masters and 2 Ph.D.), and 12 postdocs.
Dr. Fatah Kashanchi and his coworkers are searching for the
regulatory proteins of the HIV-1 and HTLV-1 viral life cycle
and their mode of action. Identifying the structure and function
of these proteins is not only an intellectually satisfying exercise
but may lead to applications in fighting AIDS. Therefore, the
proteomics approach and the related technology promise to be
highly beneficial to their work. |
