Hem D Shukla

• Hem D. Shukla is Research Scientist in Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at University of Maryland and adjunct Professor of Genomics in Notredame of Maryland University. 
• He has also worked as Research Faculty in Department of Biology at Johns Hopkins University. 
• Dr. Shukla has worked on proteomic analysis of oxidative stress response in BxPC-3 pancreatic cell lines and identification of biomarkers for pancreatic cancer. 
• He has worked on “The Nrf2 mediated antioxidant defense against oxidative stress in pancreatic cancer cell lines and targets for therapeutic intervention”. 
• He has shown elevated level of Nrf2 transcriptional factor in pancreatic cancer cell lines under oxidative stress which is phosphorylated by protein kinase C and affects phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and MAP kinase pathways. 
• After phosphorylation, Nrf2 translocates to the nucleus, binds AREs and transactivates detoxifying enzymes and antioxidant enzymes, such as glutathione S-transferase, and superoxide dismutase. 
• The IPA analysis has suggested a potential role of Nrf2 under oxidative stress conditions.
• Currently, working as professor in Department of Biology at University of Maryland.
• Previously, I have worked as Staff Scientist and Director of Proteomic Core in National Institute on Aging, NIH.
• My expertize is on Pancreatic Cancer Biomarker Discovery.
