Expertise

The Sankar lab focuses on the role of calcium/calmodulindependentprotein kinase (CaMK) signaling in mammalian development and disease.

My laboratory is interested in understanding the role of the calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase (CaMK) signaling cascade in cell biology and how its alterations contribute to disease.

We are interested in identifying the effects of CaMKK2 inhibition in prostate cancer-associated bone metastasis as well as establishing the identity of its downstream targets in prostate cancer as well as bone cells.
