Dr. Crowe previously is a member of the University of Southern California (USC)/Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center and co-founder of the head and neck cancer research group at USC.
His research interests are focused on the mechanisms of pathogenesis of oral and breast cancers. He seeks to understand how nuclear hormone receptors and their co-activator proteins regulate target gene expression involved in cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and differentiation.
Another research focus in Dr. Crowe's laboratory is the production of epithelial cells from mouse embryonic stem cells and the isolation and characterization of putative stem cells from adult oral mucosa and oral cancers. He has been continuously funded since 1992 by the National Institutes of Health, Department of Defense, American Cancer Society, American Institute for Cancer Research, and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Dr. Crowe is further developing the UIC College of Dentistry’s basic and translational research program in oral cancer.
