Research

My research interests include the bioinformatics analysis of microRNA and mRNA expression as it relates to lung cancer, cancer susceptibility syndromes and senescence, the effect of genetic variation on microRNA-mediated regulatory pathways, as well as the identification of lung cancer progenitor cells.
