Research Interests
- Characterizing epithelial and immune mechanisms that can be translated into preventive and interception strategies to target pre-cancerous cell states
- Disruption of stromal–epithelial crosstalk as a central mechanism of cancer initiation, using targeted interventions to prevent the microenvironment from supporting malignant transformation.
- Designing life-stage–specific interception strategies that leverage physiological transitions (pregnancy, infection, menopause) as windows of opportunity to block cancer initiation and progression
- Developing and leveraging innovative model systems to define the molecular and cellular drivers of elevated breast cancer risk in childhood cancer survivors
