We are an engineering-driven cancer research laboratory. Our group employs a multi-pronged approach combining engineering with multi-omics strategies to design blood-based assays for cancer diagnosis and monitoring. The long-term goal of our work is to enable sensitive and multiplexable profiling of both genomic and functional biomarkers with a simple blood draw. The ability to noninvasively and quantitatively measure cancer-specific biomarkers would enable real-time longitudinal monitoring of patients at every stage of treatment.
