I am a medical oncologist with interests in using machine learning and Omics to develop precision-based treatment paradigms for cancer patients. I have a special interest in central nervous system metastases, and my laboratory efforts leverage Omics-based techniques, medical imaging, and machine learning to define and target genomic and metabolic vulnerabilities for these tumors. My hope is that these efforts will result in newer and smarter ways to treat these difficult diseases.
