Dr. David Reiner

Biography

David J. Reiner is an Associate Professor at the Center for Translational Cancer Research at Texas A&M University. His research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of signaling pathways in development, particularly those involving Ras small GTPases and their downstream effectors. He utilizes C. elegans as a model organism to dissect complex signaling networks and their roles in disease. He aims to create drug discovery pipelines that leverage the genetic tools available in C. elegans to identify potent small molecule inhibitors for therapeutic applications in cancer. His work addresses fundamental questions regarding signal fidelity during development and focuses on novel contributions to the understanding of cancer signaling pathways. He is also involved in high-throughput screening efforts to validate potential drug candidates.
