Biography

 

I am a Senior Research Associate in the Department of Pathology and the Center for Personalized Medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. I am interested in the molecular mechanisms behind the causation and progression of genitourinary cancers, with specific emphasis on urinary bladder cancer. My research has a strong translational focus and tries to identify and construct prognostic models that can better predict patient outcome and chemotherapeutic response.
