| Research Interests: I am studying the role of tumor suppressor protein p53 in pancreatic cancer. Using mouse models of pancreatic cancer, I aim to understand how loss of p53 activity leads to cancer development. My work will elucidate the mechanisms of tumor suppression by wild-type p53 in pancreatic cancer. |

| Research Interests: My research focuses on the role of p53 in non-small cell lung cancer. Using in vitro and in vivo models, I aim to identify the mechanisms and downstream targets of p53 most important for suppressing tumorigenesis in the lung. I am also studying how p53 induces regression of lung adenocarcinoma. |

Research Interests: My research focuses on characterizing non-canonical p53 target genes as tumor suppressors. By investigating the potency of these genes as tumor suppressors in a mouse model of lung adenocarcinoma, we hope to better understand the mechanisms by which p53 antagonizes carcinogenesis. I am also interested in elucidating therapeutic targets that are synthetic lethal to cells with p53 mutations.

Research Interests: I am interested in the role of p53 during the initiation and early development of pancreatic cancer. Through leveraging mouse models of pancreatic cancer, my work will determine the mechanisms of p53 tumor suppression during early stages of pancreatic cancer. Understanding the role of p53 in pancreatic cancer development will be crucial for improved early detection and treatment.
