Research Abstract

I am a gastrointestinal medical oncologist with a clinical and research focus in upper GI cancers, specifically gastroesophageal cancers. My translational research is centered on identification of molecular subgroups and heterogeneity in GI cancers and translation of these findings to therapeutic clinical trials. I am an active participant in multiple gastresophageal clinical trials involving targeted agents, immunotherapies, and novel combination approaches.
