Research

Dr. Hamby conducts research in three major areas: tumor biology, cardiology, and immunology. He has a longstanding interest in melanoma tumor biology and in recent years has worked on the development of biological cytotoxins that target tumor cells directly or their supporting blood supply. In the area of cardiology, Dr. Hamby is currently investigating the role of bone marrow-derived stem cells in the long-term clinical benefits of a non-invasive treatment for heart disease. Lastly, he is exploring the immune mechanisms underlying the protective effect of oligoribonucleotides (ORN) and other low molecular weight compounds released by bacteria in plant and animal hosts.
