Research Interests:
The Endocrine Oncology Research Laboratory is engaged in cutting-edge endocrine and neuroendocrine clinical, translational and basic research. Our research is focused on:
- Identifying the molecular basis of endocrine cancers that could impact patient care.
- Creating new and improved methods, strategies, technologies, and algorithms for the diagnosis of endocrine neoplasms.
- Defining genetic testing criteria, and optimal screening and surveillance strategies for inherited endocrine and neuroendocrine syndromes.
- Discovering new molecular, genetic, proteomic, and metabolomic markers for developing better diagnosis and novel targets for treatment of metastatic and advance endocrine and neuroendocrine cancers or biomarkers which could predict prognosis/response to surgical therapy.
- Advanced imaging and genetics that will allow for precision endocrine surgery.
