Research Interest

Dr. Glasgow has studied the role of bioactive lipids in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, and transformation. In particular, his research characterizes metabolites of arachidonic and linoleic acid as mediators of growth factor signal transduction with human breast, prostate, and colon cancer cells.  Specifically, he has examined how pharmacological modulation of these metabolic pathways may regulate the growth and metastatic potential of certain tumor cell types.
