Research Interests
My research interests are predominantly in the areas of pediatric and developmental pathology, musculoskeletal pathology, and molecular pathology. One of my main areas of interest has been the study of pediatric and adult bone and soft tissue neoplasms, aimed at expanding the knowledge and understanding of the molecular basis for these tumors through the analysis of their underlying chromosomal abnormalities and genetic mutations.
