I perform and interpret fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies at the FNA clinic at Mt. Zion Hospital. I have a particular interest in head and neck pathology and provide consultation for the UCSF Department of Head and Neck Surgery, reviewing both cytologic and surgical specimens in the context of the Multidisciplinary Head and Neck Tumor Board.
My research interest focuses on the biological functions of carbohydrate sulfation. My previous work in this area investigated the role of sulfated glycoproteins in lymphocyte trafficking. My attention has shifted to the role of carbohydrate sulfation in the regulation of growth factor signaling in pancreatic and lung cancer.
