Personal Quote:

" The only way to improve cancer treatment is through well‑designed clinical trials"

What motivates me is advances in our knowledge of cancer and its treatment that are brought about by clinical trials..... clinical trials are the only way that cancer treatment can improve.

I want to build an investigational new drug treatment program here, so that our patients will have access to cutting‑edge treatments
