- Phase 1 clinical trials
- Precision medicine
My primary research interest is in clinical trial development in genitourinary malignancies, with a focus on bladder, kidney, and prostate cancer. I am currently involved in designing phase I and II clinical trials for these cancers, and am site principal investigator (PI) for several investigator-initiated and industry sponsored trials. My aim as a clinical researcher is to conduct thoughtful translational clinical trials that, where possible, rationally incorporate precision medicine into tailored treatment approaches for patients with genitourinary malignancies.
