Research Summary
I have a background in translational neurooncology research. I am particularly interested in developing personalized therapies based on genomic and molecular profiles of individual tumors especially skull base tumors like pituitary adenomas. Additionally, I perform clinical research especially in the field of endoscopic skull base surgery in an effort to answer challenging questions that come across as the field progresses.
I am also conducting clinical and translational TBI research focusing on prognostication and outcomes as well colloborations for therapeutic opportunities.
