  Research Interest

  My research focuses on finding new ways to treat and prevent non-melanoma skin cancer. I am committed to bringing laboratory-based insights to benefit our patients. I am interested in these questions: 1. How do we prevent skin cancer? 2. What is the relationship between sunlight, vitamin D, and skin cancer risk? 3. Can we target certain tumor signaling pathways (Hedgehog pathway) to treat basal cell carcinomas - the most common cancer in the US?

  Research Interest

  My research focus is on tumor angiogenesis. We are working on the contributions of progenitor cells in the formation of tumor vessels. We are particularly interested in a population of cells that are derived from putative "hemangioblast", and their role in vasculogenesis. We sumrise that these cells have a close association with cancer stem cells, and are essential in promoting tumor expansion.
