Research and Clinical Interests

My research interests lie predominantly in cytopathology and breast pathology. I am interested both in studying morphological and molecular features of pathologic entities and in studying the clinico-pathologic correlations of disease. My long-term goal is to participate in, enable, and establish interdisciplinary, as well as cross-institutional, studies that bring the power of pathology to work that may be clinically practice-changing.
