Research Summary

My laboratory focuses on the genomic analysis of human and mouse gliomas and medulloblastomas. I am an integral in the NIH Cancer Genome Anatomy Project, one site of which is here at Memorial Sloan-Kettering. I have identified several novel micro-deletions and translocations in glioma that produce protein fusions likely to contribute to the biology of these tumors and is characterizing several of these novel fusion proteins.
