Work in my lab is focused on identifying and understanding the molecular events associated with the initiation and progression of human cancer, particularly the role of abnormal cell proliferation and cell death. The clinical significance of these events in malignant and pre-malignant lesions of breast and ano-genital human tumors is of primary interest and our involvement in collaborative research provides a unique opportunity for translational of basic science discoveries to questions that can be posedin large, clinical and population-based studies.
