About Me

What I Do at MSK
  • Co-Director, MSK Mesothelioma Program
Get To Know Me

I am a board-certified medical oncologist who specializes in caring for people with thoracic cancers and I am Co-Director of MSK’s Mesothelioma Program. I provide personalized care to my patients throughout their treatment. Care plans are based not only on the type of cancer and its genomics but also on the priorities of each and every patient and family.

I work closely with my colleagues from other disciplines such as thoracic surgery, radiation oncology, pulmonology, pathology, radiology, and interventional radiology to determine the optimal plan and whether there is an appropriate clinical trial.

I also lead a research team working to develop new therapies for mesothelioma and lung cancer. I am particularly interested in inherited predispositions to lung cancer and mesothelioma. I work on developing treatments for specific molecular changes, such as MTAP, BAP1 and NF2 loss, as well as novel immunotherapies and biomarkers that may predict response to these new treatments. My work has been supportive by the National Cancer Institute and the Department of Defense as well as several philanthropic sources.

I have previously served on the Scientific Advisory Board for the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation and am now Chair of the Board of Directors. I am a member of the Mesothelioma Committee of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer. I review grants for the National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute, and Department of Defense and serve as an Editorial Board Member for Clinical Lung Cancer. I have completed MSK’s Physician Executive Development Program as well as the American Society of Clinical Oncology Leadership Development Program. At MSK, I also serve as the Thoracic Disease Management Team lead for the MSK Cancer Alliance which helps ensure that our outstanding care and innovative clinical trials are accessible to people closer to their homes.

My Role at MSK

A thoracic oncologist is a cancer doctor with special training in thoracic (thor-A-sik) cancers. These are cancers that have to do with the chest, including lung, tracheal (windpipe), and thymic (thymus) cancers.

An early drug development specialist tests new drugs to treat cancer. They have special training in research studies, known as clinical trials.
