Research
Dr. Shim's current research interests center on improving our understanding of the genetics and tumor microenvironment of high-risk neuroblastoma, and identifying targetable therapeutic agents that will improve long-term survival. She is investigating the Yes-Associated Protein (YAP)/Hippo pathway in high-risk and recurrent neuroblastoma under the mentorship of Kelly Goldsmith, MD. She will be delineating the YAP/Hippo pathway and its role in high-risk and recurrent neuroblastomas to develop a novel targeted therapy in combination with other potential targeted therapies, such as MEK or Bcl-2 inhibitors.
