Academics and research
My research interests are in the genetics of genitourinary cancers and uveal melanoma. I am a co-investigator and coordinator of the Spectrum of Clinical Phenotype of the BAP1-tumor Predisposition syndrome, which is aimed at characterizing the clinical phenotypes associated with different germline variants of BAP1 in order to dissect its complex functions.
I am also a co-investigator of the Genetics of Uveal Melanoma study, and the Germline Genetic Determinants of Transformation of Uveal Nevi: Towards Early Diagnosis and Prevention of Disease Progression. The goal of these studies is to better understand the genetic causes of eye melanoma and develop a biomarker that could be tested in saliva or blood to detect which nevi are at high-risk for progression to melanoma.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
