Research

The current research in the Scanlan Lab is centered broadly in the area of hormone action, with an emphasis on the classic endocrine modulators belonging to the steroid/thyroid family. These hormones coordinate a variety of important physiologic functions in development and homeostasis, and they mediate the regulation with exquisite selectivity. One of the Lab's primary activities is to develop an understanding of the molecular basis of the tissue-selectivity of these hormones using a multidisciplinary approach that involves synthetic chemistry, biochemistry, cell biology, and ultimately physiology.
