  1. ROLE OF CULLIN 4A IN TUMOR DEVELOPMENT.
    Pradip Raychaudhuri; Fiscal Year: 2005
    ..Also, the PI will develop a transgenic mouse model that over expresses cullin-4A in keratinocytes, which would enable him to study the oncogenic function in vivo. ..
  2. Role of Ubp-M and H2A deubiquitination in chromatin and cellular function
    Hengbin Wang; Fiscal Year: 2010
