“My group is interested in understanding the molecular underpinnings of oncogene addiction and oncogene overdose in human cancer. Our goal is to use this information to identify novel therapeutic targets or to optimize the deployment of existing targeted agents to maximize clinical benefit. To do this, we employ a number of omics technologies to map out the molecular consequences of various pharmacological and genetic perturbations.”
