Research Interests

Mortality in patients with cutaneous melanoma arises from metastasis, usually to the lymph nodes followed by distant metastases to solid organs. We demonstrated that the extent of tumor lymphangiogenesis can predict the risk of metastasis to distant and sentinel lymph nodes in patients with melanoma. Using large-scale molecular screening, we study the genetic and epigenetic events regulating melanoma lymphangiogenesis, coupled with histological and clinical data.
