A New Era of Science at CUNY

When it opens in the fall of 2014, the Advanced Science Research Center will bring CUNY to a landmark moment in its decade-long, multi-billion-dollar commitment to becoming a national leader in visionary scientific research of vital, real-world consequence.

A decade in the planning, the first phase of the ASRC is rapidly taking shape on the south end of the City College campus in Upper Manhattan: a striking glass-encased structure that will be at the center of CUNY’s expanding universe of science and embody a bold vision of 21st Century discovery.

The construction of a $350 million building with 200,000 square feet of world-class facilities would be big news for any institution, public or private. But sophistication and scale are only part of  the ASRC story. At the center’s core will be an innovative approach to the scientific method itself, one that seeks to break down some of the walls between disparate but increasingly inter-related disciplines of applied science.

The ASRC will focus CUNY initiatives in five of the most energized areas of global research: Nanoscience. Photonics. Structural Biology. Neuroscience. Environmental Sciences.

Inflammation is the mammalian response to infection. Normally it is defensive and thwarts pathogenic assaults but occasionally it runs amok, leading to physiological chaos and death. We are interested in the regulation of the inflammatory pathway as mediated by various cytokines. We focus on the regulation of interleukin-1 by the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, determine its interactions with other cytokines and assay the cellular and molecular consequences when interleukin expression is altered. Transgenic mice and mice deleted for genes encoding these regulatory molecules have been generated and we utilize them as tools for deciphering these inflammatory pathways.

Cells use receptor mediated endocytosis to take up proteins from their environment, be it for antigen processing, polypeptide hormone signaling, nutrient supplementation, growth factor stimulation or receptor modulation. We are studying the endocytic pathway and receptor recycling using a molecular genetic analysis in the model organism, C. elegans. Our purpose is to identify new key molecular components in the pathway and to elucidate their structures and functions.
