Rony continues to work in field of MAPK signaling and his achievements include: 1) Development of the first anti phospho antibodies for the study of MAPK activity; 2) Identification and study the role of alternatively spliced isoforms of ERKs; and 3) Elucidation of mechanisms that govern the subcellular localization of MAPK components, in particular their mechanism of nuclear translocation. 4) Use of the nuclear translocation as anti cancer and inflammation target.
