Summary

I am a physician-scientist in the Department of Radiation Oncology here at Hillman. The focus of my translational research lab is on the development of new combination radiation immunotherapy treatments. In particular, my current research focus is on the development of targeted radiopharmaceutical therapies to enhance efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade in a variety of cancer models. I currently serve as an Authorized User for the In Vivo Imaging Core Facility and have developed several collaborations with investigators in Hillman. Moreover as a clinician, I treat GU, breast, and cutaneous malignancies and I am involved in translational clinical trials. As a member of the cancer center, I hope to foster collaborations within my clinical department in Radiation Oncology with the greater Hillman community for translational research.
