About Me

What I Do at MSK
  • Director, Clinical Bioinformatics
Get To Know Me

As the Director of Clinical Bioinformatics, I focus my clinical efforts on ensuring that the genomic results returned to our patients are of the highest quality possible. 

On the research and development side, I am actively involved in the development and validation of updated or new DNA and RNA sequencing assays. In collaborations with pathologists, the Early Drug Development Service, and/or Global Biomarker Development Program, we are also analyzing patient data to develop improved algorithms for identifying patient cohorts who will better respond to various treatment modalities.
