Summary
- I am board -certified in pediatric hematology-oncology and Neuro-oncology, practice pediatric neuro-oncology full-time, and deeply committed to finding the best treatment options for children with brain tumors. My clinical research involves developing novel therapies through a vigorous interaction with laboratory scientists to translate new discoveries from the lab to the clinic. I am also working to understand why certain treatments do not work and how to improve upon on treatment failures.
