Research InterestMortality 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.

Research InterestOur Research Group develops non-invasive cellular imaging techniques that can generate detailed information about specific cell populations in the body. The ultimate goal of this research is to determine tumor characteristics which are linked to poor prognosis, to develop, direct and monitor related targeted therapies and to monitor stem cell therapies that regenerate physiologic cell populations. We have a strong focus on translational, bench-to-bedside research.

Research InterestWe are using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Human to conduct whole genome analysis projects. The yeast genome sequence has approximately 6,000 genes. We have made a set of haploid and diploid strains (21,000) containing a complete deletion of each gene. In order to facilitate whole genome analysis each deletion is molecularly tagged with a unique 20-mer DNA sequence. This sequence acts as a molecular bar code and makes it easy to identify the presence of each deletion.

Research InterestWe are interested in the biologic effect of gene expression changes that occur in the solid tumor. Many of these expression changes are due to the micro-physiology within the tumor. Several of these genes have been implicated in driving malignant progression and/or regulating response to therapeutic intervention. We hope to use these molecular changes to develop novel targeted therapies that take advantage of tumor specific gene expression changes.

Research InterestMy laboratory studies cancer stem cell biology and its implications for therapy. We are interested in developing a deeper molecular understanding of breast cancer and lung cancer stem cells, including identifying pathways and genes important for survival and self renewal. Additionally, we are developing methods for overcoming resistance mechanisms to radiotherapy and chemotherapy in cancer stem cells. Clinically I specialize in the treatment of lung cancer and applications of radiosurgery.

Research InterestMy research interests are focused on minimizing the impact of breast cancer from a diagnostic and therapuetic standpoint. Breast MRI is a powerful tool to facilitate the screening for and staging of breast cancer, and can be valuable adjunct to guide breast surgery. Oncoplastic surgical techniques optimize cosmesis after breast cancer surgery. Accelerated radiotherapy after lumpectomy decreases radiotherapy treatment times from 6 weeks to just 1 to 5 days.

Research InterestDr. Dodd is involved in clinical trials using endovascular coils that have a fiber coating that help heal aneurysms of the neck and can prevent an aneurysm from reforming. He uses minimally invasive endoscopic techniques to treat brain tumors. Dodd's research interests are in cerebral blood vessel reactivity and stroke.
