Eric Guisbert
The Guisbert laboratory uses the nematode worm, Caenorhabditis elegans and cultured human cells to make new discoveries focused on regulation of a cell signaling pathway called the heat shock response. The heat shock response is an essential stress response that is also involved in human diseases including cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Our hope is that by learning more about the basic biology of this pathway we can contribute to a better understanding of these diseases and the development of new therapeutic strategies.
Dr. Eric Guisbert started his scientific career as an undergraduate researcher in the Cancer Research Department of Parke-Davis Pharmaceuticals where he did pre-clinical drug development in mouse cancer models. For his PhD, he investigated regulation of a stress response pathway called the heat shock response in the laboratory of Carol Gross at the University of California, San Francisco. He then switched to studying the eukaryotic heat shock response during his postdoctoral fellowship with Rick Morimoto at Northwestern University.
