Research Interests

My professional/research interests focus on facilitating and strengthening cancer research enterprise (discoveries and breakthroughs) through the development and/or implementation of information technology tools and applications. This effort also includes an awareness and participation in broader initiatives (national and international) to develop standards around data capture and management (common vocabularies and interoperable technologies) that will ultimately facilitate data sharing and research across institutions on a global scale.
