About David Riese
During the past 30+ years I have studied the roles that receptor tyrosine kinases play in human malignancies. I am particularly interested in the roles that members of the ErbB/EGF receptor family play in human malignancies. Currently, my laboratory is focused on novel inhibitors of ErbB receptors, signal integration and cross-talk among ErbB receptors, and the roles that ErbB4 plays in human cancers. I also have an active consulting business in which I provide assistance in pharmaceutical intellectual property legal matters. I specialize in providing expert opinions on the mechanisms of action of anticancer drugs. In these and other activities I am mission-driven, task-focused, and highly collaborative.Specialties: Cancer drug target validation, EGF/ErbB receptor cancer drug discovery and pharmacology, pharmacy education, pharmaceutical intellectual property consulting
Experience
Professor, Department of Drug Discovery and Development
Auburn University Harrison College Of Pharmacy
May 2018 — Present · Auburn, AL, US
I direct research in cancer drug discovery writ large. This is primarily focused on target identification, characterization, and validation, although we also have experience in assay development and hit generation. This work is centered on studies of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) family hormones and ErbB receptor tyrosine kinases. We are particularly interested in BRAF-WT melanomas, triple-negative breast cancers, and childhood brain tumors.I also teach undergraduate students, graduate (M.S. and Ph.D.) students, and professional degree (Pharm.D.) students. My teaching responsibilities are focused on research project conceptualization and execution; cancer chemotherapy; cancer biology, genetics, pharmacology, and drug discovery.
