Research Interest
I am a researcher focusing on improving treatments for patients with breast cancer through complementing clinical care with robust clinical investigation and translational research. My specific focus is on designing clinical trials based on strong scientific rationale for the treatment of both early-stage and advanced breast cancer, using novel therapeutics such as immunotherapy and targeted therapies. I also aim to leverage information from patients - such as patient reported outcomes, blood and tissue samples - to ask fundamental questions about tumor biology and host-tumor interactions.
Clinical Interest
I am a Medical Oncologist who specializes in treating patients with breast cancer. I see patients at the Women's Cancer Center in Magee-Women's Hospital of UPMC. My aim is to provide multidisciplinary, evidence-based and personalized care to each patient diagnosed with breast cancer.
