Research Abstract

I am surgeon-scientist at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, where I have a clinical practice as a urologic oncologist in the MGH Department of Urology and MGH Cancer Center. My research interests focus on leveraging a variety of genomic techniques and computational biology methods to advance precision cancer medicine in genitourinary malignancies. Our research aims to improve early detection of clinically significant prostate cancer and distinguish indolent from aggressive disease to guide treatment decisions.
