ACTIVE RESEARCH PROJECTS

  1. Thyroid Neoplasia in LatinX patients (Principal Investigators: Emilia P. Liao, MD; Jose G. Sanchez Escobar, MD; Daniel Kuriloff, MD)
    Description: The project investigates the clinical impact of diagnosing a thyroid neoplasm in LatinXpatients and examines novel, nonsurgical strategies to reduce the impact of overdiagnosing thyroid neoplasms in this under-represented minority population through registry design & maintenance & clinical procedures.
  2. Shire – Paradighm (Physicians Advancing Disease Knowledge in Hypoparathyroidism): A Registry for Subjects with Chronic Hypoparathyroidism (Principal Investigator: Natalie E. Cusano, MD)
    Description: The objectives of this registry are to characterize and describe the clinical course of chronic hypoparathyroidism under conditions of routine clinical practice. This includes, but is not limited to, treatments, symptoms, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), clinical outcomes, and comorbidity. In addition, to characterize and describe the long-term efficacy and safety profile of rhPTH (1-84) treatment in patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism under conditions of routine clinical practice. This includes, but is not limited to, long-term effects of rhPTH (1-84) on renal, eye, bone, cardiovascular, and other outcomes relevant for patients with hypoparathyroidism.
  3. The role of irisin and other cytokines in ovarian physiology (Principal Investigators: Dimitar Avtanski, PhD; Leonid Poretsky, MD)
    Description: The purpose of this project is to explore how chronic inflammation modulates the success of infertility treatment in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure. For this project, we aim to obtain clinical data and follicular fluid samples from women undergoing IVF procedures. The ovarian follicular fluid samples will be used to purify granulosa cells for in vitro experiments. The remaining fluid will be used for hormone measurements. Our primary objective for this project is to establish molecular mechanism(s) by which irisin and other cytokines modulate ovarian steroid hormone production and thus may affect the outcomes of the IVF procedures.
  4. Investigation of the molecular mechanisms by which hypoxia modulates cytokine secretion in breast cancer cells (Principal Investigator: Dimitar Avtanski, PhD)
    Description: The purpose of this project is to investigate the effect of CoCl2-induced hypoxia on cytokine gene and protein expression, to establish major signaling pathways involved in the hypoxia-induced effect on cytokine production in breast cancer cells, to investigate the effect of HIF-1α inhibition on breast cancer cytokine production, to investigate the association of tumor HIF-1α expression with tumor cytokine levels
  5. Role of resistin in mediating obesity-induced breast cancer progression (Principal Investigator: Dimitar Avtanski, PhD)
    Description: In the context of cancer, epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) induces the acquisition of cells with stem cell characteristics (cancer stem cells [CSCs]), which are believed to have the ability to initiate new tumors (tumor initiating cells [TICs]). Generally, TICs are characterized with high expression of cell surface protein CD44 and low or negative expression of CD24 (CD44+/CD24-/low). Resistin is an adipokine produced by the white adipose tissue (WAT) adipocytes and macrophages that plays a role in inflammation and insulin resistance. Circulating levels of resistin are increased in obesity. Preliminary reports suggest that resistin is associated with cancer progression and increases the metastatic potential of cancer cells. In this project we aim to investigate the effect of resistin on EMT and stem cell-like features in breast cancer cells, and the potential involvement of CAP1 in these processes. We hypothesize that resistin increases breast cancer aggressiveness by inducing EMT and appearance of stem-like features, and that this effect may depend on activation of CAP1
  6. A mixed-methods study to explore the social impact of first bone fracture on women with osteoporosis: Patient and caregiver perspectives (Principal Investigator: Tara Kim, MD)
    Description: The major goal of this study is to determine the impact of fracture on social isolation
  7. Novo Nordisk – Long term comparative effectiveness of once weekly semaglutide versus standard of care in a real-world adult US population with type 2 diabetes – a randomized pragmatic clinical trial (Principal Investigator: Yael Harris, MD; Sub-Investigator: Leonid Poretsky, MD)
    Description: The primary objective of this trial is to demonstrate superior long term effects of treatment with semaglutide compared to standard of care (SOC) when added to 1 or 2 oral antidiabetic medications on glycemic control and in need of treatment intensification in routine clinical practice in adult patients with T2DM
  8. Multidisciplinary registry research of transgender individuals (Principal Investigator: Natalie Cusano, MD)
    Description: The project focuses on managing cardiovascular and bone density health in a cohort of transgender individuals as they age through prospective data collection and registry maintenance
  9. Multidisciplinary research study to examine cardiovascular and bone density health in transgender individuals (Principal Investigator: Natalie Cusano, MD)
    Description: The project focuses on managing cardiovascular and bone density health in a cohort of transgender individuals as they age through routine blood tests, cardiovascular procedures and DXA scans over a two year period
  10. Effects of synthetic mono-carbonyl curcumin analogues on diabetes modulation of oxidative stress and inflammation (Principal Investigator: Dimitar Avtanski, PhD)
