Research Interests:

Dr. Myal's research program is focused on identifying novel molecular biomarkers of normal breast development as well as identifying breast cancer specific biomarkers and understanding the biological role of these markers in the progression of breast cancer from a localized disease to metastases. Research over the past few years has focused on two molecules: claudin 1 and the human prolactin inducible protein/gross cystic disease fluid protein (hPIP/GCDFP-15) gene.
