Tony Antakly is an Associate Professor at the University of Montreal, specializing in the fields of Health Sciences and Medical Sciences. His research focuses on the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing the regulation of steroid receptor expression, with specific emphasis on their role in hormonal regulation of Kaposi's sarcoma. His laboratory investigates the direct transmission of hormonal action through intracellular soluble receptors, which interact with DNA response elements, thereby modulating target gene expression. Ongoing projects include exploring new sites of steroid receptor action within mitochondrial DNA and understanding post-transcriptional mechanisms regulating steroid receptor expression. Additionally, the lab studies hormonal regulation in Kaposi's sarcoma, particularly the multi-hormonal control of cell growth and the implications of steroid interference with growth factors. Antakly teaches courses in molecular pathophysiology and supervises graduate theses, contributing extensively to the field through his research and teaching.
