Research Focus

The overarching goal of my research program is to improve the survival of patients with cancers of the stomach and esophagus. We are focused on understanding the role of coding and non-coding somatic mutations together with alterations to the chromatin landscape in the progression of these cancers to metastasis. In addition, we are developing bioinformatic approaches to interpret the function of non-coding genomic alterations to regulatory elements in cancer initiation and progression.
