Graduate Program: Cancer Biology
Dissertation: Myeloid Translocation Genes (MTGs) Coordinate Intestinal and Colonic Epithelial Differentiation, Regeneration, and Tumorigenesis
Hometown: Millington, NJ
Undergraduate Institution: University of Maryland, College Park
Research Interests: I am interested in epithelial biology and cancer. Specifically, I study colitis-associated carcinoma. Currently my work focuses on the role of the MTG transcriptional corepressors in intestinal homeostasis, response to injury, and tumorigenesis.
