Get to Know Me

I’m a medical oncologist who treats people with lung cancer. I see patients at the David H. Koch Center for Cancer Care at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), and at MSK Westchester.

I tailor my approach to each patient and develop a treatment plan focused on their needs. This may include a combination of treatments such as immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and chemotherapy.

I am also an early drug development specialist, which means that I am a scientist who tests new drugs to treat cancer. My research focuses on developing new, better treatments for these diseases. I work on clinical trials that help test these treatments. I have a special interest in small cell lung cancer, pulmonary carcinoid tumors, and other neuroendocrine cancers.

What I Do at MSK

I'm a thoracic medical oncologist, which is a cancer doctor who specializes in thoracic (thor-A-sik) cancers. These are cancers that have to do with the chest, including lung, tracheal (windpipe), and thymic (thymus) cancers.

I'm an early drug development specialist, which is a scientist who tests new drugs to treat cancer. I have special training in research studies, also known as clinical trials.
