Athar, Mohammad, Ph.D.

Principle Investigator

Dr. Athar's lab has been involved in evaluating pharmacological agents that interfere with the hedgehog biochemical pathway. While much of this has relevance for prevention and treatment of basal cell carcinoma, it also contributes in a major way to embryonic development of skin. He has also established a new line of investigation examining signal transduction pathways involved in bister formation employing lewisite as a vesicant. Dr. Athar's lab has a demonstrated record of successful and productive research projects in an area of high relevance for acute cutaneous injury and NMSCs.
