Specializations

Gynecologic Oncology

Clinical research activity is centered on endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, and breast cancer, with interest in treatment options for advanced, recurrent, and hormone receptor-defined disease.

  • Advanced and recurrent endometrial cancer
  • Ovarian cancer and primary peritoneal cancer
  • Breast cancer and triple-negative breast cancer

Her work also includes endometriosis and post-surgical care in the setting of hysterectomy, reflecting a strong focus on women’s reproductive and oncologic health.

Prostate Cancer and Androgen-Targeted Therapy

The investigator is involved in studies of prostate cancer across high-risk, metastatic, castration-resistant, and castration-sensitive settings, with emphasis on hormonal and targeted treatment strategies.

  • Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
  • High-risk prostate cancer after definitive treatment
  • Androgen deprivation therapy and androgen receptor-directed treatment

Research interests extend to imaging-guided treatment selection and recurrence prevention in hormonally driven malignancies.

Hematologic Malignancies

Her portfolio includes extensive involvement in leukemia and lymphoma research, spanning pediatric and adult disease with attention to relapsed, refractory, and high-risk presentations.

  • Acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia
  • Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma
  • Multiple myeloma and myelodysplastic syndrome

Her therapeutic interests include cellular and immunologic approaches, as well as disease-risk refinement in blood cancers.

Pediatric and Adolescent Oncology

A substantial part of the clinical research landscape involves childhood cancers, especially tumors requiring multimodal treatment and long-term outcome optimization.

  • Medulloblastoma and atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumour
  • Ewing sarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma
  • Pediatric acute leukemias and anaplastic large cell lymphoma

She is also linked to studies in supportive care for children, including procedures, infection prevention, and symptom control.

Cardiometabolic, Pulmonary, and Supportive Care

Additional research interests cover cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and chronic inflammatory or respiratory conditions, alongside perioperative and procedural care.

  • Atrial fibrillation, stroke prevention, and coronary artery disease
  • Type 1 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and weight management
  • Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, progressive pulmonary fibrosis, and atopic dermatitis

Her trial involvement also includes antibiotic prophylaxis, thromboprophylaxis, and other supportive interventions relevant to hospital-based care.
