Biography

Geoffrey Greene is a renowned professor at the University of Chicago specializing in cancer research. He focuses on the molecular distinctions between different hormone receptor pathways, particularly estrogen, androgen, progestin, and glucocorticoid interactions within hormone-dependent tissues and cancers. His laboratories aim to identify, develop, and characterize novel compounds for use as chemopreventatives and chemotherapeutics for breast and prostate cancers. Dr. Greene has a significant background in selectively targeting estrogen receptors through the development of compounds such as SERMs, SERDs, and SPRMs. He has made impactful contributions, including the elucidation of the structural basis for the interactions of various ligands with ER alpha and beta, and the development of therapeutic approaches that explore the role of nuclear receptor coregulators in cancer progression. Greene's extensive research is instrumental in providing new insights into treating hormone-resistant breast cancers and developing therapies that consider the complexity of steroid receptor interactions.
