Research & Selected Publications

Research Interest

My research focuses on advancing therapeutic strategies and improving outcomes in lung cancer through clinical trials, translational research, and population-level analyses. I also leverage large national databases such as SEER to characterize epidemiologic trends in small cell lung cancer and the NCDB to identify limitations of current staging systems in resectable NSCLC.
