Kailash Chadha is the Emeritus Associate Member and Associate Professor of Oncology in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Roswell Park Cancer Institute, and in Department of Medicine, State University of New York at Buffalo, NY, USA. He got his Ph.D. degree in Virology from the University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada. After his graduation he spent two years as a fellow of National Research Council of Canada. Following that he joined Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New York as a Cancer Research Scientist in the Department of Medical Viral Oncology. His research interests are in the area of cell and molecular biology of Herpes viruses, interferons and prostate cancer. He has published well over 125 publications, written several book chapters and currently holds six U.S. patents. He has been invited to participate in numerous national and international scientific meetings and has often chaired sessions on several international meetings. He is currently on the editorial board of several journals including Prostate Cancer J, International J Nephrology & Urology, Cancer & Clinical Research, J. Nephrology Research and member of several professional organizations including New York Academy of Sciences; American Association for the Advancement of Science; Society for Experimental Biology & Medicine; American Association for Cancer Research; International Society for Interferon & Cytokine research and The Society of Basic Urologic Research etc. He has edited a book on interferons entitled “Interferons: Current Status, published by Research Signpost (ISBN 81-7736-256-9). His immediate research interest is in developing new ”biomarkers” for early detection and management of prostate cancer and in studying physiological role of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in regulating prostate tumor growth and in-particular role of PSA in “angiogenesis”.
