Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
My laboratorys research examines the molecular events that lead to and sustain tumorigenesis, with a focus on soft tissue tumors. Current research interests include:
1) Gene expression profiling of soft tissue tumors to examine stromal expression patterns in carcinomas.
2) RNA-seq expression studies of potential therapeutic gene targets in epithelial cancers and soft tissue tumors.
3) Identification of novel markers in tumors for diagnosis, prognosis and prediction of therapeutic response.
