Research:
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology. I lead a translational research laboratory aiming to improve cancer patient outcomes. A major component of my research program is to (1) develop strategies for improving the therapeutic ratio of radiation therapy by increasing tumor sensitivity to radiation and limiting normal tissue toxicity and (2) understand the biological mechanisms of treatment resistance. I have received NIH K22 funding to study the role of a biomarker in treatment resistance. I also have/had funding from the Lung Cancer Research Foundation and Elsa Pardee Foundation.
