After her PhD, she completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic focusing on prostate cancer where she developed an ultra-sensitive, real-time PCR assay for the detection of a low frequency/rare allele mutation that significantly correlates with the progression of castration resistant prostate cancer.
