Research Interests

My diagnostic area of interest is pediatric dermatopathology. Ongoing research projects include collaboration with pediatric infectious disease physicians on murine models of inflammation in Lyme disease. I am also working with pathology colleagues to investigate an immunohistochemical marker in pediatric gastrointestinal disease, in particular Hirschsprung's disease. An additional project involves immunophenotypic characterization of medulloepithelioma.
