Research summary
I am studying the oncogenic drivers of a rare aggressive sarcoma arising from peripheral nerve tissue

I am using high resolution mass spectrometry to interrogate the proteome of an aggressive sarcoma arising from peripheral nerve. I envision that this work will result in identifying molecular targeted amenable to therapy.
