Welcome to the University of Colorado School of Medicine on the Anschutz Medical Campus. We are a Top Ten Medical School in primary care, pediatrics, family medicine and rural medicine, and offer physical therapy and physician assistant programs.

I am a fourth year graduate student in the Program in Reproductive Sciences and am completing my Ph.D. under the direction of Kathryn B. Horwitz, Ph.D. My research project focuses on breast cancer chemotherapeutic treatment and how hormone receptors influence tumor response to them. Estrogen and progesterone receptor positivity have long been positive breast cancer prognostic markers, however, how these two hormone receptors impact chemotherapeutic treatment of breast cancers is not known. Our lab focuses on estrogen and progesterone receptors and their role in breast cancer spread and treatment.
