About Me

What I Do at MSK
  • Instructor
Get To Know Me

I am a medical oncologist who specializes in treating people with pancreatic cancer and bile duct  cancers. I also care for people with other gastrointestinal cancers such as colon cancer, rectal cancer, and liver cancer. I see patients at the Rockefeller Outpatient Pavilion.

I work closely with a multidisciplinary team of experts at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, which includes surgeons, medical oncologists, pathologists, and radiation oncologists. Together, we work to deliver the best possible care for our patients and their families.

My clinical and laboratory research at Memorial Sloan Kettering focuses on understanding genetic drivers of pancreatic cancers and developing new therapeutic approaches based on this understanding. Specifically, my work focuses on understanding the biology of tumors with mutations in the KRAS gene, which is a common driver of pancreatic cancers.

Besides treating patients, I also perform laboratory research aimed at understanding how new treatments targeted at the KRAS gene mutations can help patients with gastrointestinal cancers. My goal is to use insights from cancer biology in the lab to suggest new treatment strategies that can make targeted therapies more effective. I am also involved in our clinical trial program for pancreatic and gastrointestinal tumors. 

My Role at MSK
