Research

My research interests are focused on gynecologic and obstetrical disorders. I am interested in determining what role histologic features, immunohistochemical markers and molecular markers play in the classification and prediction of behavior of various lesions. My most recent work involves loss of heterozygosity in cervical cancer. I am interested in determining how specific chromosomal losses relate to prognosis and to established histo-pathologic prognostic factors.
