  • Assistant Professor of Medicine
Academic Interests

My clinical research interest is in developing novel therapeutic strategies for advanced colorectal cancer through the development of industry-sponsored and investigator-initiated clinical trials. My translational research focuses on understanding the tumor immune microenvironment of colorectal cancer with the goal of broadening the use of immuno-stimulatory therapies in microsatellite stable colorectal cancer.

My clinical interest is in treating patients with gastrointestinal malignancies, including esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, and anal cancer. I aim to provide compassionate, personalized medical care embedded in a multidisciplinary team. I have a particular interest in connecting patients with cutting-edge cancer treatments and clinical trials that will inform the future of oncologic care.

I am looking forward to collaborating with and mentoring medical students, residents, and Hematology/Oncology fellows both on the wards and in the oncology clinic.
