RESEARCH SUMMARY

Dr. Yohe is a physician-scientist whose lab studies the role of aberrant small GTPase signaling in the development of pediatric solid tumors, such as rhabdomyosarcoma and neuroblastoma, and the RASopathies, such as Costello syndrome and cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome, using a combination of biochemical, epigenetic, cellular and model organism approaches.  She is actively engaged in clinical trials through the NCI and the Children’s Oncology Group to investigate the safety and efficacy of RAS/MAPK-targeting agents in pediatric patients.
