  • Bedside Exam
  Research Interest

  My interest is in clinical skills and the bedside exam, both in its technical aspects, but also in the importance of the ritual and what is conveyed by the physician's presence and technique at the bedside. This work interests me from an educational point of view, and also from the point of view of ethnographic studies related to rituals and how they transform the patient-physician relationship.

  • Triple-negative breast cancer
  Research Interest

  My research focuses on studying triple-negative breast cancer biology and identifying targeted treatment strategies. I am interested in designing breast cancer clinical trials with strong translational endpoints so that we can identify a subset of patients who benefit the most from the targeted treatment. Other interests include, prevention strategies for hormone receptor-negative breast cancer and survivorship issues.
