Dr. Karthikeyan is an Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of South Carolina.  Her two main research goals are to discover the molecular and cellular basis of cancer initiation and metastasis as controlled by growth factors. And to translate these discoveries into a source of novel therapeutic targets as well as strategies to reduce cancer incidence and improve/predict patient outcomes. Her three core research areas include: (i) Understanding the role of integrins in regulating TGF-β's effects on carcinogenesis. (ii) Determining the contribution of BMP's in cell survival in ovarian and breast cancer. (iii) Defining the intersection between growth factor/biochemical signals and mechanical signals received by cells as the extracellular matrix environment changes in disease.
