She is currently completing her thesis work in Dr. Piro Lito’s lab at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Her project focuses on improving therapeutic combinations for BRAF V600E-mutant cancers and understanding how tumor cells interact with each other to facilitate the development of therapy resistance.
