Introducing...
...faculty sponsor, Dr. Randy Burd, Assistant Professor,
Department of Nutritional Sciences. Dr. Burd's research focuses
on improving tumor radiation response through the use of
biological response modifiers that alter tumor cell function,
metabolism, cytokine stimulation and prostaglandin production,
and affect aspects of tumor development, growth and treatment
response. These include pharmaceutical drugs that are designed
to specifically target tumors, bioactive nutritional components
such as bioflavonoids, and compounds that regulate tumor
glucose metabolism. UBRPer, Claudia Baker, is working in
Dr. Burd's lab this summer.
