Clinical interest for patients

I am interested in Gastrointestinal Cancers (Colorectal, Pancreatic, Gastric, Esophageal, Hepatocellular, Gallbladder, Bile Duct, Anal, Carcinoma of Unknown (Primary), Drug Development (Experimental Therapeutics) and Translational Research.

Research interest for patients

I am a member of the Developmental Therapeutics (phase I clinical trials) and Gastrointestinal (GI) Medical Oncology Program. These comprehensive programs include multidisciplinary cancer clinics, tumor boards, and research endeavors. I am interested in resistance mechanisms to targeted therapy in GI cancers, and I was awarded the Conquer Cancer Foundation Career Development Award, NIH K23 grant, and a NIH R01 grant to study targeted therapies in colorectal cancer. I am also investigating novel therapeutic strategies to more effectively treat and prevent colorectal cancer in young adults.
