Our current research interests are divided into three areas, but adopt a unified theme to decipher the interplay between mitochondria and cell death signaling:

I. What are the biochemical, physiological, and structural consequences of protein·protein interactions within the BCL-2 family?

II. How does the mitochondrial environment influence BCL-2 family function and the core cell death machinery?

III. How do oncogenic and tumor suppressor signals intersect with the mitochondrial dynamics machinery to regulate tumorigenesis and chemosensitivity?

We explore the above questions using state-of-the-art apoptosis, metabolism, and cancer biology model systems --- usually focusing on hematological malignancies and melanoma.

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.

Dr. Chipuk has not yet completed reporting of Industry relationships.

Mount Sinai's faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
