Summary

  • Since the beginning of my medical education, I have been fascinated by the fact that the human immune system would allow cancerous cells to persist and even take over the human body. I have sought out every opportunity during my clinical years to learn more about cancer and the people affected. From start to finish, I have been extremely underwhelmed by traditional, cytotoxic chemotherapy. While often necessary and sometimes helpful, it is a blunt tool that I hope will be used more sparingly in the future as our treatments evolve to a more individualized approach. Even in the relatively short time that I've been in training, there have been incredible advances in cancer treatment with new, more targeted, and individualized treatments. I am interested in exploring (1) cellular therapies, (2) novel biologics, and (3) immunomodulatory drugs to unlock or reinvigorate host immune responses to treat blood cancers (leukemia)
