Research
My research primarily involves the study of peripheral T-cell lymphomas in children and adults.
We have examined the expression of a number of cytologic proteins and correlated detection by
immunohistochemistry with prognosis and response to therapy. We have particularly investigated
the role of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) protein expression in peripheral T-cell lymphoma
and anaplastic large cell lymphoma of T-, B-, and null-cell types.
