    Elucidating the Role of TGF-Beta Signaling in Craniofacial Fibrous Dysplasia of the Bone
    NIH R03DE033746Sep 24, 2024 - Sep 23, 2026
    Role: Principal Investigator
    Identification and Signaling Characterization of GNAS R201H/C Selective Inhibitors for FD/MAS
    University of Pennsylvania/Million Dollar Bike Ride Program Feb 1, 2022 - Mar 1, 2023
    Role: Co-Investigator
    Description: This study will test compounds that selectively bind GNAS R201* and assess whether they decrease cAMP signaling. The goal is to identify compounds that could selectively inhibit the mutated protein that causes fibrous dysplasia of the bone.
