Current research: 

My research aims to unravel the genetic bases of cancer recurrence and metastasis in pediatric cancers such as bone sarcomas and brain tumours. I am focused on understanding how gene function is altered during the process of metastasis initiation, maintenance and progression. Ultimately, I hope to contribute to finding efficacious ways to cure and prevent metastatic pediatric cancers.
