I am a research fellow and the newest member of the Sawyers lab. In 2006 I earned my PhD from Vanderbilt University where I studied transforming growth factor beta-mediated epithelial to mesenchymal transition and Smad2/3 signaling with Harold Moses, MD and Jennifer Pietenpol, PhD. While waiting for the Sawyer's lab to move from UCLA to MSKCC, I did a short postdoctoral fellowship in Jennifer Pietenpol's lab where I identified novel Chk1 interacting proteins by mass spectrometry. I am a Boston native and, although I live in New York, I still pull for the Red Sox!
