Research Abstract

http://www.chromosome.bwh.harvard.edu


My research focus is the application of classical cytogenetics and multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization technologies to dissect genomic rearrangements that occur during tumor development in humans and mouse. Chromosomal rearrangements can indicate genomic instability as well as define specific tumor types and progression.
