Research Abstract

My clinical research interests include the epidemiology of both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer and the treatment of skin cancer, particularly non-melanoma skin cancer. I am also involved in the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and its precursors. In addition, I participate in teaching and patient care related to the above topics.
