Her research interests have focused on thyroid cancer biology. She studies the genomic and transcriptomic landscape of thyroid cancer, the role of redifferentiation agents and the role of clonal hematopoiesis in thyroid cancer to attempt to find new therapeutic strategies for the most advanced forms of the disease. Dr. Boucai is an active member of the Endocrine Society where she serves on the Annual Meeting Steering Committee.
