MARTHA QUEZADO
Dr. Quezado’s main research interests are in the areas of neuropathology and gastrointestinal and neuroendocrine pathology. She is interested in utilizing molecular signatures to better classify tumors and therefore try improving targeted therapy. She utilizes methylation profiling of brain tumors to improve classification of tumors and potential discovery of new entities.
