Current Research

My clinical responsibility is development and evaluation of molecular tests relating to oncology. My laboratory does work in three main areas.

  1. We use the tools of biochemistry and genetics to understand how histone methyltransferases are regulated and targeted.
  2. We are mapping the contribution of individual histone methyltransferases to the differentiation of hematopoietic cell lineages.
  3. We screen tumor samples for mutations in histone methyltransferases to extend our understanding of the role of these enzymes in human malignancies.
