FSHR as a marker of tumor blood vessels

       My research work is focused on a marker of tumor blood vessels, the Follicle Stimulating Hormone Receptor (FSHR), which is present in all major tumor types that we investigated, while having a very limited presence in normal tissues and organs.

       We are evaluating the feasibility of FSHR blood tests, to detect the presence of tumors and to monitor their response to therapies based on FSHR released in blood. We are also working to elucidate the role of FSHR in cancer progression. Another area of investigation is the use of FSHR as a target for directing imaging and therapeutic agents into tumors.

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
