Summary

  • I am board certified internist, hematologist and medical oncologist, trained at David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. I earned PhD in Tumor Immunology under the Dr. Antoni Ribas' mentorship via UCLA STAR (specialty training and advanced research) program and joined UCLA/VA as an Assistant Professor-in-Residence in 2017. My main interest of research is to understand the mechanisms of resistance to immunotherapy and develop new therapeutic approach for patients with lung cancer and melanoma.
