Biography
Dr. Glackin investigates the molecular mechanisms by which the bHLH transcription factor TWIST regulates cellular invasiveness. Understanding these mechanisms has allowed Glackin’s laboratory to develop novel nanoparticle approaches for delivering genetically modified therapeutics that interfere with the function of TWIST to inhibit invasion of tumor cells in many aggressive cancers.
Research Interest
Cell Biology, nanoparticle delivery systems
