Biography / Academic Interests
:
I have been researching breast cancer for more than 10 years now. It has been a frustrating passion as there are still many unresolved important questions about this disease. I will continue to approach this area of research at an angle that addresses the normal biology of the mammary gland. By researching the signals needed for this tissue to form a branched ductal network during development, to synthesize copious amounts of milk during lactation, and to undergo massive tissue turnover and cell death during milk cessation (involution), I believe we better understand the very signals that invariably become deregulated during mammary tumor formation. My model of choice has often been the mouse mammary gland, which has allowed me to combine in vivo studies with organotypic 3-dimensional cell culture assays. Imaging, at many different levels, will remain an important tool for my research and the College of Staten Island is well equipped with state of the art imaging equipment. If you are interested in joining a lab and possess a passion for the sciences and the willingness to work hard toward your goals please come and see me.
