Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
I have two major research interests: the pre-leukemic bone marrow failure disorder myelodysplastic syndrome, or MDS; and the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFR) signaling in lymphoma. I have developed a novel protocol to quantitate protein expression in a cell-lineage-specific pattern in intact bone marrow using a combination of multiple immunofluorescence on tissue microarrays, semi-automated high resolution image scanning, and sophisticated image analysis.
