Description of Research Expertise

The Resnick laboratory studies cell signaling cascades and their alterations in pediatric brain tumors. The goal of the laboratory is to elucidate the molecular and genetic underpinnings of pediatric brain tumors in an effort to identify and develop targeted therapies. Additional, related studies focus on the characterization of novel cell signaling cascades impinging on cancer biology, including the inositol polyphosphates and their associated metabolism. Dr. Resnick also leads a number of Open Data initiatives focused on genomic data sharing and the necessary infrastructure to support collaborative research efforts.

Key words: brain, central nervous system, development, molecular oncology, neurooncology, signaling, inositol polyphosphates, and transcriptional regulation, cell and molecular biology, neuroscience, Brain Tumors.
