Research Summary
I am a clinical and translational oncologist specializing in cancers of the genitourinary tract, specifically bladder and prostate cancers. I also lead the Division of Hematology and Oncology at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center. My research is focused on understanding the basic biology of urologic malignancies and in developing novel therapeutic ways to treat disease. As a clinical academic oncologist I serve as principal investigator or co-investigator on a number clinical trials in advanced cancers including studies of immunotherapy, novel targeted therapy, and genetically guided therapy. All of our studies rely on strong collaboration between investigators spanning from the bench to the bedside to advance our understanding of how to best treat cancers for all our patients.
