  Member,  Stanford Cancer Institute
  
  Research Interest

  The Jardetzky laboratory is studying the structures and mechanisms of macromolecular complexes important in viral pathogenesis, allergic hypersensitivities and the regulation of cellular growth and differentiation, with an interest in uncovering novel conceptual approaches to intervening in disease processes. Ongoing research projects include studies of paramyxovirus and herpesvirus entry mechanisms, IgE-receptor structure and function and TGF-beta ligand signaling pathways.

  Research Interest

  Dr. Jeffrey was team leader of the multidisciplinary team from the School of Medicine, School of Engineering, and Genome Technology Center that invented the MagSweeper automated technology to isolate live circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from cancer patient blood for single cell analysis. Her lab characterizes CTCs in different cancers, investigating CTC profiles and mutations as potential companion diagnostics to define individual patient response to newer biologically-based cancer therapies.

  • Anatomic Pathology
  Research Interest

  I am a clinical translational investigator with a primary interest in breast cancer biology, and the use of investigational and clinical ancillary techniques such as gene and tissue microarray analysis and immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis and prognosis of this disease. As a practicing cytopathologist, I also have an interest in improving the fine needle aspiration biopsy diagnosis of breast lesions, again using immunohistochemistry and gene expression analysis as adjuncts to cytomorphology.
