(On behalf of D. Fisher) Suzie Chen

Dr. Suzie Chen, Distinguished Professor and Chair in the Department of Chemical Biology, Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, Rutgers University.The focus of my research is to study how aberrant unscheduled expression of an otherwise normal neuronal gene in melanocytes results in spontaneous metastatic melanoma development in vivo. For the past few years, the focus of my research has been on drug discovery. Our goal is to identify or repurpose drugs and increase bioavailability allowing higher efficacy, good activities, and minimum toxicities.
