Autorenporträt
Professor & Chairman, Dept of Cell & Molecular Pharmacology John C. West Chair of Cancer Research, Medical University of South Carolina, USA
The Tew laboratory maintains an interest in using redox pathways as a platform to develop therapeutic strategies through drug discovery/development and biomarker identification. We interrogate how reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) impact cancer cells and develop novel drugs that impact on glutathione based pathways. Our research efforts have been integral to studies that have identified glutathione S-transferases (GST) as important in drug resistance, catalytic detoxification and as arbiters of kinase-mediated cell signaling events. In addition, we have been instrumental in defining how GSTP contributes to the process by which cells respond to ROS by selective addition of glutathione to specific protein clusters, so called S-glutathionylation. Each of these research areas has had broad impact on a number of cancer disciplines. Moreover, we have also been seminally involved in the Phase I to III clinical testing of three oncology drugs, Telcyta, Telintra and NOV-002. Other ongoing translational efforts have produced two ongoing clinical trials to measure the effectiveness of serum S-glutathionylated serine proteinase inhibitors as possible biomarkers for exposure to hydrogen peroxide mouthwashes and radiation.

Carlo M. Croce received his B.S. and M.D. degrees from University of Rome. In 1991, Dr. Croce was recruited as director of Kimmel Cancer Institute/Kimmel Cancer Center, Thomas Jefferson University. From 2004-2018, Dr. Croce served as John W. Wolfe Chair in Human Cancer Genetics, Chairman of the Department of Molecular Virology, Immunology and Medical Genetics, and Director of the Institute of Genetics, The Ohio State University (OSU). He is currently professor with the Department of Cancer Biology and Genetics at OSU. He has published more than 1,000 papers in international journals including Science, Nature, Cell, New Engl J Med, JAMA, and Cancer Cell. His research has yielded 62 issued U.S. patents. Dr. Croce is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, The National Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Medicine, and AACR Academy.
