As a postdoctoral fellow and instructor in Dr. Cantor's laboratory at the
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Dr. McCarty pursued projects that have led
directly to several significant findings. She used SAGE to identify
transcripts expressed in the two major thymocyte lineages; this includes 27
highly differentially expressed genes in these two subsets. Additionally,
she had developed a novel application involving lentivirus-encoded shRNA
constructs to selectively knock down gene expression in mice. This technique
has enabled investigation of the functions of the various gene products
identified by SAGE. Lastly, she combined these approaches to identify and
characterize MINK as a critical signaling molecule necessary for T cell
development and differentiation.
In 2006, Dr. McCarty received a Career Developmental Award from the National
Institutes of Health-NIAID and subsequently joined the Brown Foundation
Institute of Molecular Medicine at the University of Texas Health Science
Center at Houston as an Assistant Professor. She received an outstanding
young investigator award in 2007. She was awarded several extramural and
intramural grants since she joined IMM, including an award from The Concern
Foundation, a Research Scholar Award from American Cancer Society (ACS). | b*******n
