Tony Antakly

Tony Antakly is an Associate Professor at the University of Montreal’s Faculty of Medicine, specifically within the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine. His research focuses on hormonal regulation of cancer, particularly Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) in AIDS patients, and mechanisms governing steroid receptor expression. He is affiliated with the GRUM (University Research Group on Medicine).

Education details are not explicitly provided in the text, but his expertise includes developmental biology, senescence, and gene expression control. His work combines cellular and molecular biology techniques to study hormonal signaling pathways and apoptosis in cancer.

Publications emphasize KS cell proliferation mechanisms, glucocorticoid effects, and retinoid inhibition. No explicit awards are listed, but his research contributes to understanding AIDS-related cancers and steroid receptor dynamics.

He supervises doctoral students, such as Wei-Xing Guo, and teaches courses like BCM-3513 (Molecular Pathophysiology) and BTG-6009 (Biotechnology Entrepreneurship). His lab explores cross-talk between steroid receptors and intracellular signaling, aiming to identify therapeutic targets for KS and related cancers.
