Research
Our laboratory focuses on understanding the early events in breast cancer development. Two main areas of interest are: (1) studying the somatic genomics of breast cancer in individuals with germline BRCA1/2 predisposing mutations and (2) investigating how tumor heterogeneity contributes to triple-negative breast cancer development and treatment response. We employ state-of-the-art single cell approaches to dissect molecular heterogeneity in pre-malignant and malignant lesions of the breast. Our goal is to leverage the knowledge gained from these studies and develop innovative strategies for breast cancer chemoprevention and treatment.
