Welcome to the Vanden Heuvel Lab Website
The Vanden Heuvel Lab is part of the Department of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences in the College of Agricultural Sciences at the Pennsylvania State University. The laboratories are at the Center for Molecular Toxicology and Carcinogenesis (CMTC) on the third floor of the Life Sciences Building (rooms 320, 321, and 324). To get directions to the lab, click here.
Research in the Vanden Heuvel laboratory is in the emerging disciplines of Molecular Toxicology and Nutrigenomics. We are interested in nuclear receptors (NR) such as the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) that play important roles in both toxicology and nutrition. The Vanden Heuvel Lab website contains links to our research interests, various resources (including the PCR and PPAR pages), and other sites of interest.
