Investigators

Summary

I am a clinical scientist in the department of Radiation Oncology whose academic career is focused on the rational use of radiation therapy in the context of multidisciplinary cancer therapeutics, specifically focusing on the role of radiation therapy with immunotherapy. I have active collaborations with Drs. Jason Luke and Riyue Bao in the TIIL lab to leverage complex datasets to identify optimal patients for whom radiation therapy might be most beneficial. I am committed to an investigative career at UPMC HCC and foresee an important role as a primary investigator in biomarker driven clinical trials as well as a collaborator with medical and surgical oncology to provide quality radiation oncology input and support for multimodality trials.
