Summary

  • I am a medical oncologist and specialize in treating adult patients with sarcoma. My research is focused on the development of novel immunotherapies for patients with advanced sarcoma, particularly Synovial Sarcoma (SS) and Myxoid/Round Cell Liposarcoma (MRCL). My patient care philosophy is to provide care centered on my patients goals and desires and to fight as hard as I can to help cure my patients.
