The role of circRNAs in prostate cancer malignancy and disparities
Zhenbang Chen, Ph.D., associate professor, biochemistry and cancer biology, School of Medicine
Vibhuti Gupta, Ph,D., assistant professor, computer science and data science
In this pilot project, Dr. Chen and Dr. Gupta plan to used data mining and molecular biology to investigate the role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) including the circular KDM5B (circKDM5B), a circular RNA form derived from KDM5B gene, on PCa malignancy and disparities. Their goals were to provide new mechanistic insights into castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) malignancy and a dataset and clues on the development of novel approaches for treating CRPC to reduce prostrate cancer disparities.
