Cedric Minkin

Ph.D.

Professor

School of Dentistry

The research interests of Dr. Minkin’s laboratory are directed towards the cell and molecular biology of the osteoclast, a cell thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. Approximately 1.5 million cases of osteoporosis-related fractures are reported annually. He has undertaken to combine traditional approaches of cell and developmental biology with molecular biology approaches with the objective of characterizing the molecular phenotype of the osteoclast and understanding the regulation of its formation and function. Drs. Minkin and Snead and Minkin and Markland have collaborated on studies of gene expression in isolated osteoclasts.
