Introduction:
I am dual-trained in both Medical Hematology/Oncology and Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacogenomics at the University of Chicago. My specialty training allowed me to develop expertise in clinical trial design, pharmacokinetics (PK)/pharmacodynamics (PD) analysis, drug development, and patient care. In September 2015, I joined the faculty at the University of Alabama at Birmingham as an Assistant Professor of Medicine.
Clinical Interests & Research:
My focus remains in highly aggressive women’s malignancies (i.e. triple-negative and HER2+ breast cancer as well as high-grade serous ovarian cancer) and early-phase clinical trial design. In this role, I serve as a clinician-scientist helping laboratory-based scientist translate laboratory findings to the clinical setting by designing trials.
