Biography

I am a molecular cell biologist motivated by a mechanistic understanding of cancer cell biology. My research focus is the Wnt signaling pathway. Aberrant activation of Wnt signaling is a hallmark of the majority of human colorectal cancers. My goal is to identify transcriptional events downstream of Wnt pathway activation unique to colon cancer cells. A thorough molecular understanding of Wnt-mediated transcription could reveal novel therapeutic strategies for colorectal cancer.
