My research is focused on the best ways to use genetic information to improve outcomes of patients with or at risk for hereditary cancers of all types. This includes the integration of genetic testing for both common and rare variants into clinical management, as well as evaluation of the clinical usefulness of genome-wide association studies.
I have played an active role in investigating and assessing cancer risks associated with BRCA mutations, especially those associated with breast and ovarian cancer, and conducting studies to define the clinical behavior and optimal management of individuals carrying BRCA mutations.
I also participate in the development of new treatments, such as PARP inhibitors, which may be particularly useful in people with BRCA mutations.

Members of the MSK Community often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community. These activities outside of MSK further our mission, provide productive collaborations, and promote the practical application of scientific discoveries.
MSK requires doctors, faculty members, and leaders to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public. Not all disclosed interests and relationships present conflicts of interest. MSK reviews all disclosed interests and relationships to assess whether a conflict of interest exists and whether formal COI management is needed.
