I am a board-certified physician with special expertise in Medical Oncology. I focus my clinical practice on Gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies including Pancreatic cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, Colorectal Cancer, Esophageal Cancer, Gastric Cancer, Biliary Cancer etc.
My research focus is in Gastrointestinal Malignancies, specifically pancreatic cancer, with a goal to better understand the molecular biology and microenvironment of GI cancers, discover new treatments and prevent treatment-related toxicities. I have a special interest and expertise in conducting clinical trials ranging from Phase I (first-in-human) to more expanded, efficiency-testing, Phase II-II trials.
