Research/Areas of Interest

I've worked extensively in the biomedical research setting and have identified cellular pathways, for ex. Notch pathway, that explain tumor heterogeneity in breast cancers. We have continued this work using CRISPR genome editing tools to identify additional regulators of the distinct cell phenotypes observed in women's breast cancers.

Another vein of research that my lab has recently been involved with is the effects of physical activity (exercise) on tumor biology. We are working with members of the University of Northern Colorado Cancer Rehabilitation Institute to develop better prescriptive exercise regimes that will maximize the potential of the human body to slow the growth and progression of existing cancers.  

I also enjoy teaching others about the biological world in general, and have brought my love of science into the classroom. I continue to experiment with and document the effects of different styles of active learning in my Biology classes, such as the 'flipped classroom' approach.
