Research Interests

My primary goal as a researcher is to advance the diagnosis, detection, and treatment of head and neck cancers. I am especially interested in interdisciplinary, team-based approaches to studying the biology of these tumors, employing molecular, cellular, organismal, ecological, and computational methodologies. Enhancing early cancer detection is both my passion and my career objective.
