Susan K. Logan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Urology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. She conducts research on androgen receptor signal transduction pathways regulating cell growth, with specific focus on the mechanisms by which androgen steroid hormones influence genetic programs governing male development. Her work investigates the phenotypic consequences of mutations in androgen binding receptors, which can lead to severe health issues including cancer and infertility. Dr. Logan's lab aims to uncover the roles of androgen receptor binding proteins in prostate cell growth and to develop new mouse models for prostate cancer progression. She employs a variety of technologies including immunohistochemistry and gene expression arrays to study the expression of androgen receptors and their coactivators in both normal and cancerous tissue. Through her research, she hopes to improve therapeutic approaches for androgen-dependent and androgen-independent prostate cancer.
