Cancer-Focused Research
I am a neurosurgeon and physician-scientist focused on providing skilled and compassionate care for brain tumor patients, leading research that will advance our understanding of brain tumor biology, and translating those insights into improved clinical treatments. As a neurosurgeon who specializes in skull base and brain tumor surgery, my research interests are focused on meningioma, the most common intracranial tumor, and the most common tumor along the skull base. My basic and translational research focuses on i) understanding the biological mechanisms that drive meningioma growth and behavior, ii) translating those insights into molecularly based diagnostic assays that can guide surgical and radiotherapy decision-making, and iii) developing novel targeted therapeutics for recurrent high grade meningiomas that fail surgery and radiation.
