Purpose The Volkmanlaboratory conducts NIH grant-supported research in several areas ofchemokine biology, with an emphasis on the structural details ofchemokine proteins, their interactions with cell surface receptors, andnovel approaches to modify their functions in vivo with small moleculeor engineered protein ligands. Actively funded projects with multipleyears of future grant support focus on 1) the structural basis ofchemokine function, with the goal of developing a comprehensivestructure-function atlas of the chemokine network of the human immunesystem; 2) fragment-based development of small molecule inhibitors ofCCL28, a chemokine implicated in pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer; and3) the thermodynamic origins of metamorphic folding in the humanchemokine XCL1.
