Project 1: My research interest is cancer genetics with an emphasis on clinically relevant questions that will improve our understanding of the cancer genetics of clinical phenotype and simultaneously improve patient care in oncology.  I have extensive bench research experience in the fields of genome sequencing technology development, human genetic analysis through human genome sequencing and molecular assay development.  My research benefits from the various innovations in genomic and genetic technologies that my group has developed.

Project 2: Based on a series of recent discoveries using cutting edge tools in genomics, we have (1) identified a new targeted way of treating metastatic gastric cancer and (2) pioneered a new way of determining how gastric cancer cells control normal cells in the surrounding stomach tissue.

Our overall goal for this project is to use single cell genomic sequencing to identify new drug targets by analyzing primary gastric cancers from metastatic patients.

Project 3: Based on a series of recent discoveries using cutting edge tools in genomics, we have (1) identified a new targeted way of treating metastatic gastric cancer and (2) pioneered a new way of determining how gastric cancer cells control normal cells in the surrounding stomach tissue.

Our overall goal for this project is to determine if our new discovery of a drug combination will improve the treatment of metastatic gastric cancers with the FGFR2 defect.
