About Our Lab

Our laboratory is driven by a shared passion for advancing scientific discovery, fostering mentorship, and building a collaborative community. Guided by these core values, we are dedicated to unraveling the complexities of ovarian cancer with the goal of transforming patient outcomes.

Our mission is to conduct high-impact research that deepens our understanding of ovarian cancer pathogenesis, genetics, and tumor microenvironment dynamics. We are particularly focused on the origins of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), the most lethal subtype of ovarian cancer, and have played a pivotal role in uncovering its roots in the Fallopian tube epithelium. Our innovative approach includes developing and utilizing cutting-edge models, such as genetically engineered mouse models (GEMs), Fallopian tube-derived cell lines, and patient-derived tumor xenografts (PDXs).

We strive to foster an environment where team science thrives—embracing collaboration across disciplines, institutions, and communities to drive innovation. Mentorship is a cornerstone of our lab’s ethos, and we are committed to training the next generation of scientists and clinicians through meaningful engagement and support.

By advancing fundamental knowledge and translating discoveries into actionable strategies, we aim to improve the lives of ovarian cancer patients while inspiring a future where scientific rigor, curiosity and collective effort empower the next wave of breakthroughs in cancer research.
