Lung Cancer

Research Abstract

The focus of my research is to develop tests that will identify the prognosis of patients with thoracic malignancies who undergo surgery as well as to detect cancer. We also use this information to identify and investigate new targets for therapy in lung cancer and mesothelioma.
