Description of Research Program
The overall goal of my research program is the clinical development of target peptide toxins for the treatment of cancer.  My major focus is investigating the development of an immune response to peptide toxins and its clinical impact.  Currently, we are developing a truncated diphtheria toxin (DT) linked to human GM-CSF for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.  Future studies include DT linked to interleukin-3 for the treatment of myeloid malignancies and the investigation of Anthrax and Pseudomonas toxins.
