Irina B. Grishina

Biography

Irina Grishina obtained her Ph.D in Biochemistry at Colorado State University based on experimental and theoretical studies in protein spectroscopy and thermodynamics. She continued on to postdoctoral training in molecular genetics of cell cycle with Roger Brent at Harvard Medical School and James Maller at University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. Since 2001, Grishina engaged in studies in organogenesis at New York University, and established a program on urogenital development in mouse models at the Department of Urology. Grishina’s laboratory is interested in defining the roles of developmental signaling factors which, in collaboration with steroid hormones, regulate growth, differentiation and tissue homeostasis of the prostate, urethra and external genitalia. Grishina’s studies are directed to elucidate the etiology of urogenital diseases and malformations, in particular, benign prostate hyperplasia, rectourethral fistulas and hypospadias.
