An internationally recognized expert on pain and symptom management, she has secured millions of dollars in funding from the US National Institutes of Health and has authored more than 450 publications.

At the 2015 MASCC/ISOO Annual Meeting, she presented a paper titled, “Comparison of Upper and Lower Extremity Characterization of Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy Using Patient-Reported Outcome Measures.” Her current research interests include the identification of phenotypic and molecular characteristics that predict increased risk for a higher symptom burden in patients with cancer.
