Research Summary

My research focuses on development of novel diagnostics and therapeutics for oligometastatic cancer and I am currently the principal investigator on several clinical trials exploring the interface of immunotherapy and liquid biopsy in the surgical management of cancer. I am also interested in studying how big data systems can be used to provide the most optimal, cost-effective patient care.
