    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    Dr. Lager’s research and clinical interests are focused on using clinical cytogenetic and molecular genetic modalities for the investigation and discovery of neoplasm-associated genetic abnormalities. She’s interested in employing sophisticated clinical laboratory diagnostics toward discovery of novel disease markers, and using these markers for patient prognosis and treatment stratification.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
