Research summary

This body of work centers on pediatric psychology and palliative care, especially how children with advanced cancer or serious illness and their families cope emotionally, make decisions, and find meaning during illness. It also touches on the wellbeing of healthcare providers and psychologists working in these settings, alongside separate lines of research on multiple myeloma immune profiling and obesity/metabolic treatments. The publication record suggests contributions across several distinct collaborative teams rather than a single unified lab focus.
