I am a board-certified neuro-oncologist and well-trained physician scientist that is currently undergoing additional training in experimental therapeutics. I seek to practice neuro-oncology in an academic setting providing culturally sensitive and compassionate care. Furthermore, I hope to help advance the field of neuro-oncology through clinical research with a focus on paraneoplastic disorders, immunotherapy applications in primary CNS tumors and neurotoxic complications from anti-neoplastic therapies (e.g. immune check point inhibitors and CAR-T cell therapies). Lastly, I am interested in developing global outreach educational and clinical programs for neuro-oncology in developing countries.
