Research Interests :

My research encompasses tumor biology including hematopathology and solid tumors. A primary focus is the discovery and development of novel technology and cancer biomarkers for early cancer detection. The eventual goal is to provide oncologists with tools that enable early intervention and better outcomes for patients. Diagnostic assays and biomarkers in development may be used for early detection, to assist in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment decisions or to monitor levels of minimal residual disease
