The Science
“At work, the best moments are talking through experiments with members in my lab; it’s exciting to hear about new data and ideas, and to dissect difficult problems. Those conversations are fun, enriching, challenging, and rewarding. Professionally, those high-level scientific discussions are a highlight of my day.”
- We seek to determine the genetic mutations that drive myeloid malignancies, the clinical consequences of specific mutations, and the biological basis of malignant transformation.
- We systematically dissect the the genetics of pre-malignant states in blood cancers and examine the effects of these pre-malignant states on the development of both cancer and non-malignant diseases.
- We explore the development of novel therapeutics that modulate ubiquitin ligase activity to induce targeted protein degradation.
” I find it extremely exciting and rewarding to see trainees gain confidence as researchers, become independent investigators, and flourish scientifically and clinically. “
