1). Role of FBXO45 E3 ubiquitin ligase and its substrates in lymphocyte differentiation and lymphomagenesis
2). Mass spectrometry-based functional proteomic approaches to identify novel oncogenic mediators of lymphomas
3). Genomic approaches for early disease detection and prognostication for cutaneous T cell lymphoma and splenic lymphoma
4). Role of tyrosine kinase gene fusions such as NPM1::ALK and NPM1::TYK2 in T cell differentiation and lymphomagenesis
5). Epigenetic mechanisms of tumor evasion in lymphoma
6). Epiproteomic signatures of lymphoma
The research interests of the Elenitoba-Johnson-Lim lab encompass genomic and functional proteomic approaches to discover novel mechanisms of lymphoma pathogenesis; development of conditional murine models for investigating the role of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in lymphocyte development and lymphomas genesis and translational research utilizing innovative genomic and mass spectrometry-based approaches focused on identification of novel genomic and proteomic targets for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
