STATEMENT OF RESEARCH INTERESTS
Our primary interest is to investigate molecular oncogenesis and develop novel therapies for treatment-resistant human cancer. Our approach combines functional genetics and biochemistry in human cell lines and zebrafish models of treatment-resistant leukemias and sarcomas.
