R01 054326

7/08-7/13

Agency: NIH/NIAMS

Role: PI

Title: Mechanisms of IKK regulation of basal and inflammatory osteoclastogenesis

Goals: determine the molecular role of IKK1 and IKK2 in basal and inflammatory osteoclastogenesis, and regulation of IKK activity in inflammatory osteolysis.

 

R01 049192

3/04-3/09

Agency: NIH/NIAMS

Role: PI

Title: Mechanisms of implant- induced osteolysis.

Goals: 1) Delineate the mechanism by which PMMA particles activate MAP kinase pathways in osteoclast precursors. 2) Inhibit inflammatory osteolysis, in vivo, by blocking PMMA particle-induced p38 and Erk1/2 activation.

R01 AR47443

9/02-9/06

Role: PI

Agency: NIH/NIAMS

Title: Regulatory Mechanisms of Inflammatory Osteolysis.

Goals: 1) determine the mechanisms by which TNFr1 signaling pathway stimulates RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis. 2) Determine the mechanisms by which IL-4 inhibits basal and acute osteoclastogenesis.
