About Me

What I Do at MSK
  • Director, Assay Development
  • Assistant Director, Histocompatibility Lab
Get To Know Me

I am a clinical laboratory scientist and have almost 20 years of clinical expertise in molecular biology, assay development, and validation of laboratory developed tests. Over the years, I have developed, validated, and implemented clinical molecular assays in transplant monitoring, oncology, infectious diseases, and genetics.

In addition, I have a demonstrated record of successful and productive research and translational projects in areas of high relevance for cancer biology. As Director of Assay Development, I lead the technical direction of validating and implementing HLA-related molecular tests in the Immunogenomics of Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Laboratory, as well as expanding the department’s clinical and translational research innovation. This includes work such as molecular and proteomic biomarker discovery, circulating micro RNA-based assays, and next-generation sequencing. I also serve as Assistant Director of the Histocompatibility Lab.

My research has been mainly focused on therapeutic and diagnostic biomarker discovery. Through my work I have seen that that dysregulation of a network of protein-protein interactions (rather than one or a few proteins) in a cell leads to transformation, invasion, and metastasis of the cancer cells, and each subnetwork presents a different phenotype of cancer. I have a strong interest in collaborating with MSK clinical investigators to study the signaling pathways and networks that are targeted by cancer development and progression of anticancer drugs. We are working to further identify biomarkers and druggable targets for cancer diagnosis and treatment.
