Advisory Board

Name: Fuller Warren Bazer, Ph.D. Title, Appointments and Contact Information: Regents Fellow, Distinguished Professor, Presidential Impact Fellow and O.D. Butler Chair, Department of Animal Science, 442 Kleberg Center, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843- 2471; Telephone: 979-862-2659; E-mail: fbazer@cvm.tamu.edu; Joint Appointments: Departments of Veterinary Integrative Biosciences and Veterinary Physiology and Pharmacology Research Interests: Reproductive biology with emphasis on uterine biology and pregnancy. Mechanisms of action of pregnancy recognition signals from the conceptus to the maternal uterus, including interferon tau and estrogen from ruminant and pig conceptuses. The roles of uterine secretions as transport proteins, regulatory molecules, growth factors and enzymes and endocrine regulation of their secretion is another major research interest. The mechanism(s) of action and potential therapeutic value of conceptus interferons and uterine-derived hematopoietic growth factors are areas of research with both pigs and sheep as models for human disease.

Guoyao Wu is a University Distinguished Professor, University Faculty Fellow, and AgriLife Research Senior Faculty Fellow in the Department of Animal Science at Texas A&M University. He received the B.S. degree in Animal Science from South China Agricultural University (1978- 1982); an M.S. degree in Animal Nutrition from Beijing Agricultural University, China (1982- 1984); and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Animal Biochemistry from the University of Alberta, Canada (1984-1986 and 1986-1989, respectively). Dr. Wu undertook postdoctoral training in Biochemistry and Nutrition at McGill University (1989-1991) and Memorial University of Newfoundland (1991) in Canada. His research interests include the biochemistry, nutrition and physiology of amino acids in animals at the molecular, cellular, and whole body levels. Dr. Wu has been a faculty member at Texas A&M University since October 1991. To date, he has published 605 papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals, with total citations of > 48,500 and an Hirsch-index of 110 in Google Scholar, 58 chapters in books, and 2 text/reference books "Amino Acids: Biochemistry and Nutrition” (2013, CRC Press) and “Principles of Animal Nutrition” (2018, CRC Press). He has been recognized with numerous awards from his profession, including the Nonruminant Nutrition Research Award and the Morrison Award from the American Society of Animal Science, New Frontiers in Animal Nutrition Research Award from the Federation of Animal Science Societies and American Feed Industry Association, and Distinguished Scientist of Sigma Xi Honor Society - Texas A&M University Chapter. Dr. Wu is a member and elected Fellow of American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Name: Shannon Nowotarski Title: Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Affiliation: Penn State Berks Luerssen 212D Research: My research focuses on better understanding the regulation of intracellular polyamines. Currently, we are investigating how UVB affects the polyamine pathway in skin cells. Moreover, in a recent collaboration, we are investigating the transport of polyamines using the Drosophila model system. Email: sln167@psu.edu

Misty L. Kuhn Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry San Francisco State University, USA mkuhn@sfsu.edu Short description of research field: I study the structure-function relationships of Gcn5-related N-acetyltransferase (GNAT) proteins and focus primarily on those found in bacteria. GNATs have a variety of functions, including acetylating polyamines, and my laboratory is studying how these diverse enzymes catalyze their reactions using biochemical approaches.

Name: Jenaro Garcia-Huidobro Title: Assistant Professor Affiliation: Universidad de Talca, Chile Short Description Genetic variability in the polyamine pathway and cancer. I am interested on SNPs that affect ODC1 gene expression to use them as molecular marker for recurrence and response to cancer treatment. In our laboratory we currently studing the regulation of the polyamine pathway by ncRNAs. Email jgarciahuidobro@utalca.cl

Prof. Dr. André Stephan BACHMANN Professor of Medicine and Associate Chair for Research, Pediatrics Michigan State University, College of Human Medicine, Department of Pediatrics and Human Development Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Dr. Bachmann is a tenured full professor of medicine (pediatrics) and the Associate Chair for Pediatric Research at Michigan State University (MSU). He studies the therapeutic potential of polyamine and proteasome inhibitors in patients with cancer and rare genetic diseases. Much of his research has provided new insights into the role of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and polyamine-associated genes in the pediatric cancer neuroblastoma. He preclinical work with ODC inhibitor DFMO led to phase I and phase II neuroblastoma clinical trials.

Research Field My scientific career started in the field of obesity. My PhD project in Prof. MP Portillo laboratory (University of Basque Country) led to the characterization of the role of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) on weight loss and lipid metabolism. At the end of my PhD training, I moved to University of Burgundy for a 5 month stay (under the supervision of Dr. H Poirier), where I studied the effect of CLA in liver cholesterol metabolism of mice. In 2008 I joined CIC bioGUNE, first in Cytogenomics with Dr. Parada and in 2010 in the lab of Dr. Carracedo to pursue my interest in the study of metabolism in cancer. Since January 2019 I work as research assistant in the Lab of Dr. Carracedo leading different projects and helping PhD students to develop and design experiments.
