Wade Bushman, MD, PhD. (Bushman). Senior Scientist, Department of Urology, University
of Wisconsin.
Dr. Bushman’s laboratory group studies molecular signaling in the mesenchymal-epithelial interactions of prostate development and reactivation of embryonic signaling pathways in prostatic neoplasia. Use mouse models, the Bushman lab is examing the role of Sonic hedgehog and BMP-4 signaling, which regulated prostate ductal budding.
Jose Lopez, MD (Lopez). Professor of Medicine, Division of Hematology University of Washington. Member, Bloodworks NW Research Institute
Dr. Lopez's primary research focus delves into platelet adhesion and von Willebrand factor functions. The laboratory has been involved for many years in studies aimed at understanding the basic mechanisms of platelet adhesion. Initially, these studies were aimed at the synthesis, assembly, posttranslational modifications and defining the ligand-binding sites of the receptor that mediates the first step of platelet adhesion, the glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX-V complex. These studies are continuing, now focused on the association of the GP Ib-IX-V complex with membrane microdomains known as lipid rafts and downstream signaling after the complex has bound its primary adhesive ligand, von Willebrand factor (VWF), a multimeric polypeptide synthesized in endothelial cells and megakaryocytes.
