Research Programs
My clinical specialty is genitourinary cancers, with a focus on prostate cancer. I also maintain an active lab focusing on leukocyte trafficking and its role in tumor immunology, with the ultimate goal of advantageously controlling this for patients’ benefits. I hope to advance translational immunotherapy and be able to bring novel therapies from the bench to the bedside, and back again.
