Research Interests: Dr. Lehman's interests are in cell cycle and apoptosis regulators as targets for cancer chemotherapy. His team also studies aspects of cell signaling in tumor angiogenesis. Another area of interest is ubiquitin-dependent regulation of protein stability.
Research Techniques: Researchers use cell culture, patient tumor samples and animal models to investigate new therapeutic targets in gliomas. They study cell signaling in tumors and in response to specific agents via Western blot, immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR and microarray studies. Other techniques include RNA interference, immunoprecipitation and flow cytometry.
