About us

Our laboratory is in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. We are a member of the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, Epigenetic Regulation in Cancer Program, and the USC Brain Tumor Center.


Our research mission is to determine how the genome is altered by DNA damage and investigate the impact of these changes on gene regulation and treatment resistance in brain tumors using cutting edge techniques and unique approaches.


By understanding how our genomes adapt to therapy, we aim to find ways to stop this process and render cancer cells more effective to therapy.

Our research and ongoing mission would not be possible without the support we have received from our funding sources.
