Specializing In:
Cellular Therapies, including stem cell transplantation, CAR-T cell therapies, TILs, TCR gene therapies

Biography:
My research is dedicated to developing gene-engineered cell therapies that target cancer cells in pre-clinical models. The goal of this research is to identify optimal cell therapies that can then be evaluated in cancer patients. It is my goal that our innovative laboratory and clinical research will lead to therapeutic options for patients with cancers.
