About

My  research interest is primarily focused on translational research in upper aerodigestive tract malignancies through discovery of novel agents and novel approaches in treating esophageal and head and neck cancers. Through conducting investigator-initiated clinical trials in primary therapy and the metastatic or recurrent setting, and the conduct of research focusing on biomarker correlative studies, my  main goal is to significantly impact clinical care and outcome of patients with upper aerodigestive tumors.
