Research Narrative
The primary focus of my research is to translate laboratory-based findings into novel investigator sponsored trials that aim to assess the safety and efficacy of rationally designed targeted therapies for lung cancer patients.
My goals are to: 1) define how TKI resistance pathways evolve at the tumor genome, transcriptome and molecular signaling levels within lung cancers and to translate these findings into novel prognostic and predictive biomarkers that may predict TKI resistance before it occurs; 2) develop investigator sponsored clinical trials to test rational companion therapies that can prevent, delay, or overcome TKI resistance, 3) develop investigator sponsored clinical trials to target recently identified oncogenic pathways, outside of EGFR and ALK, that drive NSCLC; and 4) establish a cohort of patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mice to foster research that aims to further understand the molecular mechanisms of response and resistance to TKI therapies in lung cancer
