Get to Know Me

I am a pathologist who specializes in cytopathology and molecular genetic pathology. My primary role is to investigate diseases to diagnose and guide cancer treatment.

My research interests involve the development of genetic tests and artificial intelligence algorithms on small biopsy samples to advance cancer treatment. I work closely with colleagues from surgical oncology, medical oncology, and radiology to deliver the best care to our patients. 

What I Do at MSK

I'm a pathologist, which is a doctor who uses a microscope to make a diagnosis from cell and tissue samples. I analyze these samples to learn the cause and effects of a health issue.
