Board Certifications

Medical Oncology; Internal Medicine

I am a board-certified medical oncologist specializing in the treatment of lung cancers and the conduction of early-phase clinical trials. As a member of the Thoracic Oncology Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), my clinical practice and research focus on neuroendocrine lung cancers, such as small cell lung cancer and carcinoid tumors. The goal of my work is to identify novel treatments for patients that target the molecular mechanisms that drive cancer. To do this, I work closely with basic science researchers to bring promising discoveries from the laboratory to patients through clinical trials. I also treat patients with other cancers through MSK’s Early Drug Development Service, where I design and lead early-phase clinical trials for difficult-to-treat cancers.

When caring for patients, I strive to create individualized treatment plans that put their priorities and needs at the forefront of their care. Every day, I and an exceptional multidisciplinary team of surgeons, radiation oncologists, nurses, pharmacists, and many others, work tirelessly to deliver cutting-edge medical care to help our patients maintain a high quality of life while receiving cancer treatment.
