Summary

  • I am a chief resident of Radiation Oncology at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Clinically, I am interested in the innovative application of SAbR in oligometastatic disease and early stage cancers, as well as the role of immunotherapy in locally advanced lung cancer. I am also a bench scientist in the laboratory of Dr. DeBerardinis at Children's Research Institute where I investigate the role of tumor microenvironment metabolism in radiation sensitivity. I have a life-long passion for improving cancer care through policy, practical application of science and medicine.
