About me

I am an academic surgical pathologist specializing in specifically sarcoma and melanoma and molecular diagnostics for these tumor families. In addition, I play an important role in the design and implementation of our clinical next generation sequencing strategy. I am integrally involved in a multidisciplinary translational sarcoma lab and also support a variety of melanoma projects and clinical trials in this field. My particular value to our organization is my expertise in tissue-based research in support of translational research where I act as a co-investigator in multiple projects. In addition, I represent the institution on multiple committees relevant to cancer and molecular diagnostics including AJCC, CAP, CDC, CTOS, NIH, TCGA and USCAP.
