Spotlight on
Dr. David Andrews
Andrews is the director of Biological Sciences at SRI. One of his areas of research is apoptosis, otherwise known as programmed cell death. It is the Bcl-2 family of proteins—which include Bax and Bak—that he is specifically investigating.
Along with colleagues, Andrews recently discovered small molecules that prevent Bax and Bak from binding, a critical step in the execution of apoptosis. This could lead to the development of a drug that temporarily keeps select cells alive while treatment for various diseases is administered. The finding was presented in Cell Chemical Biology.
