Biography
I am part of a team that is developing a tissue and cell bank repository core for the melanoma disease management group at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. We collect tissue, blood samples and cell lines along with personal data. The core is a resource of information and biosamples for researchers. I use my medical background and knowledge to ensure samples are annotated properly. We ensure the ethical collection, storage, annotation and distribution of tissue and blood samples.
Research Interest
Melanoma, medical sample management
