Research Interests
Cancer genetics and tumor suppressor genes: specifically, the normal cellular functions of the BRCA2 and VHL tumor suppressor genes.
The My research focuses on cancer genetics, specifically on a class of genes that are known as tumor suppressor genes. Currently work on in my laboratory focuses on the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene. Investigations are centered on uncovering the normal functions of this gene and learning how mutations in it can cause cancer.
