Her research emphasis is on understanding mechanisms of uterine and ovarian cancer development and using this knowledge to develop cancer prevention strategies for women at increased risk of cancer. This research focuses on hereditary cancer syndromes (Lynch syndrome-associated uterine cancer and Hereditary Breast Ovarian Cancer Syndrome), as well as cancers related to obesity and metabolic dysfunction. Dr. Yates also seeks to translate laboratory insights on genetic changes associated with uterine cancer development into clinical advances such as improved chemotherapeutic regimens and understanding (or predicting) a patient's response to therapy. Translational research in her laboratory spans across cell culture systems, genetically engineered mouse models, human tissue studies, and clinical trials.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Affiliations  Research Consortia Junior Faculty Network  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Assistant Professor Gynecologic Oncology & Reproductive Medicine UT MD Anderson Cancer Center
