My research is focused on cancer because… by understanding the fundamental biology of cancer we have made tremendous progress over the years that is leading to better outcomes for patients. With the tools and knowledge available today, we have an incredible opportunity to make an even greater impact on the lives of patients living with cancer.

Briefly describe your current work. Work in my laboratory is focused on lung cancer. We study basic mechanisms that underlie lung cancer development and growth. We are also working to uncover mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies and immunotherapies in this disease.
