Suman Setty, PhD, MBBS, is Professor in the Department of Pathology at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at UIC. She also practices in the Department of Pathology at UI Health, where her areas of expertise include genitourinary oncologic pathology and medical renal pathology. In her cancer-focused research, she studies the molecular mechanisms of renal carcinogenesis utilizing tissue and DNA microarrays to examine 3-D cultures of kidney carcinoma cells (CaKi) and human tubular epithelial cells (HK-2). Ongoing studies of the effect of high levels of glucose in cell culture medium indicate that multiple matrix and vascular regulators are involved in aggressive tumor cell behavior. Genomic studies are underway to identify the genes responsible for tumor cell growth and metastasis. Candidate genes are to be studied in patient renal tumor tissue.
