Clinical Focus and Research:

My clinical focus is on multi-disciplinary approaches to the treatment of Brain and Spinal cord cancers.  I work with surgical and radiation oncologists to ensure that my patients receive the most effective combination of treatment modalities and have access to the most innovative drugs for the treatment of cancer.

My research interests include the conduct of phase I and II clinical trials of new CNS therapeutics.
