Bio

As a surgical oncologist, I aspire to provide my patients with compassionate, cutting-edge cancer treatment and to care for them as if they were family members.

Research Summary

My main research interests are in gene therapy and oncolytic virotherapy. As a surgeon-scientist, I aim to translate these novel therapeutics to the clinic to bridge the gap between the lab bench and the patient's bedside. In addition, I also have an interest in surgical oncology outcomes research.

Clinical Summary

Gastrointestinal cancers, cytoreductive surgery & HIPEC, sarcoma, melanoma
