Peter Storz MSc, PhD

Peter Storz, Ph.D., focuses on the protein kinase D (PKD) family of serine/threonine kinases. Specifically, Dr. Storz's laboratory is interested in the mechanisms by which PKD is activated and how it relays signaling to regulate tumor development, tumor cell survival and tumor cell motility.

Dr. Storz and his colleagues focus on the role of PKD in regulating the invasiveness and metastasis of cells. In pancreatic cancer, they focus on the role of reactive oxygen species and PKD in the regulation of events that initiate the development of this cancer.
