I am a physician in the department of radiation oncology. I treat several types of malignancies including genitourinary, pediatrics, lymphoma, leukemia, and cutaneous malignancies.

I also have research interests that involve the study of cancer biology with focus on developing new cancer treatments and improving therapies that are currently used. I focus on targeted cancer treatment as well as the combination of drug therapy with radiation therapy to enhance its effectiveness, while limiting toxicity and side effects. Ultimately, my goal is to translate my research findings into clinical trials.
