Research Interests

The role of T cell surface proteins in cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) and the treatment of the disease. Cytofluorographic studies of T cell mediated diseases and apoptosis. The interactions between lymphoma cells and normal immunocytes involved in the anti-tumor response against those lymphoma cells. We have been developing diagnostic tests for permitting the early diagnosis of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Clinical research projects involve the multi-factorial assessment of immunocompetence and tumor burden by way of antibody in molecular studies of patients' samples.
