Who We Are

 

​We are a biomedical research team at the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute and Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan.

 

Between 2001-2030, our group has been and will be supported by grants from the National Cancer Institute.  

​

What We Do

 

We study the biology of normal mammary gland development and breast cancer. In addition, we examine the genetic alterations that drive pancreatic carcinogenesis.

 

​We develop novel genetically engineered models to study biological processes in vivo.
