Research Summary
I am a board-certified neurologist and a pediatric neuro-oncologist with a research program focused on novel therapies for pediatric brain tumors and also on late effects in survivors of childhood brain tumors. I have received dedicated training in clinical research methodology through the Master's of Clinical Research Program at UCSF, which I completed in June 2015. I have significant experience conducting multi-center trials through established consortia, such as the Children's Oncology Group and the Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium, which I am co-leading. I also collaborate with the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study for my late effect research.
