SUMMARY
As a pathologist-cytogeneticist, I am interested in tumor biology, particularly hematological cytogenetics and FISH. My primary interests are in research and clinical test development for leukemias and lymphomas, and solid tumors. I have a particular interest in pediatric and adult myeloid and lymphoid leukemias, plasma cell proliferative disorders and the discovery of cytogenetic anomalies associated with drug targets, such as imatinib mesylate responsive genes.
