Currently, the percentage of HMS full professors who are women is 8.3, up from 3.8 in 1987. She coordinates a multidisciplinary examination of these issues incorporating cognitive testing, neuroimaging, and genetics. His lab's investigations into several broad areas of cancer biology include a variety of experimental approaches, including molecular biology of the virus, oncogene actions in relation to cell transformation, and various aspects of pathogenesis. She has focused on a family of enzymes called protein tyrosine kinases, which are often mutated in human tumors. The wound is treated like an in vivo tissue culture in an incubatorlike environment.
Gene therapy is used to modulate the healing process.
She has pioneered the area of neuroendocrinology effects on bone metabolism and has worked extensively in the area of pituitary tumor pathogenesis and therapy. She has developed innovative treatments, has defined the epidemiology of the major complications, and has dissected the sickle red-cell membrane in an effort to find new, therapeutic strategies. She has elucidated the molecular etiology of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, defined this as a disease of the sarcomere and provided insights into the clinical consequences of distinct gene mutations. Weber's research involves the restorative aspects of oral implantology in clinical trials and laboratory research. Specifically, he is interested in applied research on hard and soft tissue reactions to implants, clinical trials, and basic research on dental implant surfaces and their influence on healing.
