Summary

  • My calling in life is to advance the treatment and knowledge of primary brain tumors as a practicing Neuro-Oncologist and physician-scientist. After finishing my undergraduate studies in Molecular and Cellular Biology and Mind, Brain, Behavior at Harvard University, I pursued an MSTP MD-PhD program at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center/UT-Health Houston where my Ph.D. was focused on functional genomics in glioblastoma. After my residency training in Neurology at UT Austin Dell Medical School, I completed a clinical fellowship in Neuro-Oncology at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center. My career focus is to be a physician-scientist and Neuro-Oncologist who is able to advance the treatment of primary brain tumors through basic and translational research while at the same time treating patients and running clinical trials.
