We are interested in elucidating molecular details of receptor-mediated cell signaling events at the same time developing protein and peptide-based tools that will allow us to manipulate cellular processes on a molecular level. Our research is driven by the philosophy that in order to control physiological processes it is necessary to understand the molecular mechanisms that drive these processes. Clinical applications of our research involves wound healing, cardiac tissue regeneration, ocular disease, and cancer imaging and therapy. Our main goals are to develop new technologies for basic science and biomedical applications. The Cochran laboratory uses interdisciplinary approaches in chemistry, engineering, and biophysics to study complex biological systems.
