Any industry positions (last five years):
None declared

Research interests:
As a member of the collaborative group that pioneered the use of cDNA microarrays to study global gene expression in solid tumors, Dr. Jeffrey's lab continues to focus on breast cancer genomics research, using 42,000 gene DNA microarrays to analyze gene expression patterns in diverse breast tumors. Her laboratory has refined RNA amplification techniques so that microarray technology may be used for genome-wide analysis of very small quantities of tumor tissue such as core needle biopsies. Her lab studies molecular differences between invasive ductal and invasive lobular breast carcinomas; breast tumor metabolic pathways that appear to predict clinical response to chemotherapy; molecular phenotypes of HER2/neu overexpressing tumors; and, in collaboration with Dr. Dong-Young Noh of Seoul National University in South Korea, molecular diversity of Asian breast cancers. She collaborates with Dr. Ben Cravatt's lab at Scripps to compare proteomic studies using activity-based protein profiling with gene expression profiling.

Section Head: Women's Health > Genomics & Women's Health (since 16 November 2005)

Stefanie Jeffrey is a Section Head for Genomics & Women's Health, part of the WOMEN'S HEALTH Faculty. The role of a Section Head is to work with their Co-Section Head(s) to divide the Section (sub-specialty area) into its component areas of research, nominate leaders in those areas as Faculty Members, and offer ongoing oversight of the content within their Section. They are not asked to evaluate articles, although we do, of course, welcome them.
