Dr. De Young's research is primarily focused in those projects which assist the surgical pathologist in arriving at an accurate diagnosis or in predicting patient prognosis for a given neoplasm. The primary tool utilized in these efforts is immunohistochemistry, although some work has been done using in-situ hybridization. Current areas of active research include investigations with the proto-oncogene Her2-neu in breast carcinoma as well as other epithelial and non-epithelial neoplasms, utilizing the expression of various keratin subtypes to determine tumor differentiation, and the use of antibodies directed against the Na+/I+ symporter protein to determine the feasibility of I+131 based therapy in salivary gland malignancies that are not readily surgically excised.
