Summary

I am a researcher focusing on improving treatments for patients with breast cancer through complementing clinical care with robust clinical investigation and translational research. My specific focus is on estrogen positive breast cancers and in particular, invasive lobular breast cancers, and elucidating the unique clinical and biological characteristics of this often-understudied breast cancer subtype. I aim to develop novel methods to evaluate patients with lobular breast cancers and follow their treatment response, and I also aim to leverage information from patients – such as patient reported outcomes, blood and tissue samples – to ask fundamental questions about tumor biology and host-tumor interactions.
