Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
My areas of interest are mammary gland biology and translational breast cancer research. I recently joined the Contag lab as an NIH Career Re-Entry Scientist, where I am using molecular imaging tools to study the process of cancer cell dissemination during breast cancer progression. Current projects include: 1) Establishment of a viable human breast tissue model to study mammary gland biology and develop diagnostic and therapeutic agents, 2) Adaptation of a miniature microscope platform for the noninvasive detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs), and 3) Development of model systems to study breast cell dissemination to bone.
