Personal profile
Research interests
Dr. Nadine Hempel's research interests center on understanding molecular mechanisms that regulate metastasis and tumor recurrence of ovarian cancer, with the ultimate goal of identifying novel targets for therapy of advanced-stage disease.
Her research group uses a variety of molecular, cellular, imaging and in vivo techniques to focus on two research areas in ovarian cancer biology: first, the role of mitochondrial antioxidants and reactive oxygen species during metastatic progression; and second, the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics and metabolism in ovarian cancer.
Teaching and educational interests
Dr. Nadine Hempel is a graduate faculty member of the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program, Clinical and Translational Science Research Training Program and MD/PhD Medical Scientist Training Program at Penn State College of Medicine.
Dr. Hempel is involved in graduate education and curricular development in her role as director of the Translational Therapeutics track in the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program.
She is currently serving as a College of Medicine representative on Penn State's Graduate Council.
