Research Focus - Improving and Developing Cytogenomic Assays for Oncology
- Cytogenetic analysis for hematologic malignancies and a small number of solid tumors (such as lipoma/liposarcoma, Ewing and some other specific sarcomas, and neuroblastoma)
- Full-service cytogenomics laboratory supporting UMass researchers and offering classical metaphase chromosome analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assays and genomic chromosomal microarray to interrogate clinical specimens for genetic abnormalities
