Research Interests
I am interested in exploring the causes of Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC), as well as developing novel therapies for both SCLC and other recalcitrant cancers. I am currently studying unique vulnerabilities for SCLC governed by neuroendocrine differentiation as well as faulty cell cycle transition dynamics.
