Research Interest

Dr. Krynetskiy s lab concentrates on the study of DNA damage sensors and their role in initiating apoptosis after chemotherapy. This research includes development of model experimental systems based on murine embryonic fibroblasts and different types of human cancer cell lines, generation and computational processing of gene expression and proteomic data following drug treatment. The second area of Dr. Krynetskiy s interests focuses on the role of inherited factors that modulate drug response and cause adverse drug reactions, such as genetic polymorphism of drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug targets. The ultimate goal of this study is to predict and prevent adverse reactions to drugs in genetically predisposed patients.
