About me
Dr. Saraswati Sukumar is a Barbara B. Rubenstein Professor of Oncology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and Professor of Pathology. Her lab is focused on using methylated gene markers to detect breast cancer. Her current clinical study in Africa is focused on the development of an inexpensive, fast, automated GeneExpert cartridge-based test for distinguishing between benign and malignant lesions of the breast. This will enable a rapid response at the “point of care” to those in need of immediate attention.
