    Katharine Dexter McCormick and Stanley McCormick Memorial Professor and Professor, by courtesy, of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS)

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy laboratory focuses on identifying pathways and biomarkers of treatment resistance in head and neck cancer using clinical samples. We explore approaches to modulate these pathways through preclinical models (cell lines, organoids, tumor bearing mice) in order to develop precise strategies against these resistant mechanisms. At the same time, we are also studying pathways involved in treatment-related toxicity and develop strategies to prevent or overcome these toxicities.
