Get to Know Me

As a molecular geneticist, I specialize in cancer genomics and the accurate clinical interpretation of patient-tumor molecular profiles. I work closely with medical oncologists and pathologists to guide patient-centric care by understanding genomic alterations and their implications in the management of cancer.

Clinical cancer genomics is increasingly becoming a routine component in patient care, yet equitable patient access to the benefits of this technology remain a challenge. My current research focuses on the clinical applications of cancer genomics and cancer genomics in patients of underrepresented minorities.

What I Do at MSK
