Her clinical and research interests are focused on breast cancer care from prevention, early detection and treatment, to survivorship. At UConn Health, her leadership role has been in developing the Clinical and Translational Breast Program. Susan serves as the medical director of the UConn Breast Service. In creating the program her goal was to develop and offer multidisciplinary treatment planning and interventions to patients, with defined oversight and quality control. Creation of a Breast Cancer Research Group as a venue to integrate research in the patient population was something Susan created in 2005.
