Cancer Research Interest

Disease Site Focus: No Specific Disease Site
Research Focus Area: Treatment, Detection, Diagnosis/ Prognosis
Type of Research: Translational, Clinical
Research Interest Statement: My work as a High-throughput screening staff scientist in the Screening and Drug Discovery resource at the Cancer institute allows me to work on a multitude of projects focused on identifying novel compound leads that could be developed into potential cancer treatment options. As such my interests are focused on the identification of new compounds that target cancer cells and the translational process to develop said compounds into treatment options.
