معرفی
Adrian Salic, Ph.D., is a Professor of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School (HMS), leading the Salic Lab. His research focuses on biochemical and cellular mechanisms of Hedgehog and Wnt signaling pathways, alongside developing chemical technologies to study lipid cell biology. He completed his PhD at Harvard University in 2000 and joined HMS as an Assistant Professor in 2005. Notably, he co-developed the commercially available Click-iT EdU/EU kits for DNA/RNA synthesis detection.
Research Interests: Dr. Salic’s work spans signal transduction mechanisms in Hedgehog and Wnt pathways, lipid-dependent signaling, and the role of cholesterol in cellular processes. His lab combines biochemical, genetic, and chemical biology approaches to elucidate fundamental mechanisms in developmental and cellular biology.
