“I am broadly interested in exploring mechanisms of drug resistance and immune dysregulation in cancers, especially as it pertains to changes in mRNA and lncRNA expression. I’m also interested in potentially identifying new treatment targets that may circumvent resistant phenotypes. While I am interested in all cancer types and understand that many biological principles may be applied to various disease groups, I am most passionate about aggressive breast cancers.”
