Biography
My research focuses on developing breast cancer lab models that can be used to generate new prevention and treatment strategies. Specifically, in my research lab, we grow tumor tissue to identify previously unknown vulnerabilities in tumors and develop ways to eradicate all tumor cells. My team and I also study breast tissue at high risk of becoming cancerous to learn how to stop the process from happening. My lab has initiated the process of developing invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) organoid models to further advance research in this area.
