Professional Interests

As of July 1, 2023 I have shifted to emeritus status. My deepest thanks and gratitude for the many students and colleagues with whom I have collaborated over the past forty years. I have closed my lab and am no longer taking on new staff. However, I am happy to collaborate and discuss research by zoom or in person.

My scientific interests remain focused on the mechanisms by which tumor cells invade and metastasize. Tumor cell motility and the orientation of tumor cells by chemotaxis make important contributions to invasion and metastasis. My expertise is in breast cancer, head and neck cancer, and glioblastoma. Breast cancer, although the primary tumor can be fully removed, metastasizes to distant sites, and the resulting metastases can lead to poor prognosis. Glioblastoma and head and neck cancer invade locally into critical areas and the primary tumors are not fully removable by surgery. I have familiarity with tissue culture studies of invasion and signaling of these cancers and in vivo analysis in mice.

In addition, due to my long time association with the Einstein Senate, I am working on bringing all the minutes of the Senate along with brief summaries onto the Einstein website. Einstein is a remarkable medical school with accomplishments that we are all proud of. The minutes provide an interesting perspective on the trials and triumphs of this amazing place.
