Research Interests:

Together with Dr. Lance Liotta, he has formed the Center for Applied Proteomics and Molecular Medicine. The Center has formed a unique partnership between George Mason and Inova Health System. George Mason University-Inova Health System Translational Research Centers is a joint initiative to coordinate multiple programs to implement proteomics, nanotechnology, and genomics research in cancer, metabolic syndrome, cardiopulmonary diseases, and neurodegenerative and liver diseases. This initiative comprises the research efforts of three shared centers: the Center for Applied Proteomics and Molecular Medicine; the Center for Biomedical Genomics; and the Center for the Study of Genomics of Liver Diseases. Inova and George Mason have combined efforts to recruit internationally renowned scientists, such as Lance Liotta and Emanuel Petricoin III, to work closely with clinical investigators from Inova.
