About
Biography
As a clinical fellow in pediatric hematology and oncology, I focus on delivering precise treatments for challenging pediatric malignancies. I specialize in solid tumors—including brain tumors—where therapeutic options often fall short. I am committed to finding innovative solutions to these complex diseases.
In the lab, I am dedicated to pursuing research that focuses on creating and refining models for solid tumors. I aim to develop individualized approaches to treatment that reduce reliance on animal testing. By aiming to create predictive, patient-specific models, I aspire to improve the accuracy and efficiency of preclinical testing. I am particularly interested in exploring vector-mediated gene editing techniques through such models, which I believe could have promising implications for delivering innovative and targeted therapies.
Throughout my training, I have pursued research in hematologic and oncologic diseases. My clinical research at the Mayo Clinic broadened my understanding of patient-centered care. During my residency, I engaged in lab research on innovative vector systems—funded by the American Society of Hematology’s HONORS grant—reinforcing my commitment to advancing precision medicine.
