Research Program
Research Interest
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics and a member of the Darby Children’s Research Institute and Hollings Cancer Center (HCC) at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). My research is focused on determining how tumor suppressor functions are disrupted in cancer by dysregulated subcellular localization. I have a broad cancer biology background in both adult and pediatric cancers. My laboratory studies Ewing sarcoma (EwS), a genetically simple but devastating pediatric bone cancer with poor prognoses and outcomes.
