Description

Laboratory of Dr. E. Richard Stanley
Albert Einstein College Medicine

Research in the Stanley lab (http://www.aecom.yu.edu/dmb/stanley.htm) isfocused in the three areas described below:

1. Colony Stimulating Factor-1 (CSF-1) and Interleukin-34 (IL-34) indevelopment and disease: CSF-1 is the primary growth factor regulatingtissue macrophage and osteoclast production. To study the sites of CSF-1synthesis and the actions of the cell surface and secreted isoforms ofCSF-1, we have developed CSF-1-promoter transgenic mice that exclusivelyexpress each the 3 different isoforms of CSF-1, or reporter genes, in anormal tissue-specific manner. Our targeted inactivation of the CSF-1receptor (CSF-1R) predicted the existence of a second ligand, recentlyidentified as IL-34. We are studying the biology of CSF-1 and IL-34,using transgenic and gene targeting approaches. Studies include theroles of these growth factors in hematopoiesis and gut, brain and skindevelopment and in the enhancement of tumor metastasis.

2. CSF1 receptor signal transduction: We have used proteomic approachesto identify downstream signaling molecules and analyzed the mechanism ofaction of several novel signaling intermediates, including SHP-1, DOK-1,PTP-phi, Cbl and MAYP/PSTPIP2. In current work, we are combiningproteomic and bioinformatic approaches to CSF-1R signaling and studyingCSF-1R structure/function using a novel CSF-1R /- macrophage cell line.

3. Drosophila Shark tyrosine kinase signaling pathways in dorsal closureand phagocytosis: We identified the Syk family kinase, SH2 domainankyrin repeat kinase and showed that it plays a central role inembryonic dorsal closure and the recognition and engulfment of dyingneurons by glial cells. Using a two hybrid approach, we identified thereceptor activating Shark (Draper) and the upstream adaptor (Ddok) andcurrent studies in this area are focused on the elucidation of Sharksignaling pathways using biochemical and genetic approaches.

Positions are available for two postdoctoral fellows to work in any ofthese 3 areas. Green card holders or American citizens are preferred,but excellence and independence are most important. Applicants shouldsend a curriculum vitae and a description of research interests andexperience, with the names and contact information of three referencesto rizzo@aecom.yu.edu
