Professor
My laboratory focuses on the discovery of the underlying genetic traits and dependencies of breast cancers based on a combination of traditional pathologic approaches with genomics, functional genomics and artificial intelligence to devise a taxonomy system for these tumors that more accurately reflects their biology and therapeutic vulnerabilities.
