    Member,  Bio-X
    Clinical Focus
    • Anatomic Pathology
    • Sarcoma
    Research Interest

    Our research focuses on gene microarray analysis of human soft tissue tumors (sarcomas). In addition we work with tissue microarrays to characterize large numbers of novel antisera raised against peptides derived from genes found to be of interest during gene array analysis.
