I am a subspecialty trained, translational and clinical researcher in pediatric oncology with focused interests in pediatric solid tumors and adolescent-young adult sarcomas. Prior to my faculty position, my research endeavors focused on phosphoproteomic analyses of neuroblastoma tumorigenesis. In addition, I studied mechanisms of chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity utilizing zebrafish models. As a faculty member, my research is focused on developmental therapeutics and early phase clinical trial design in both hematology and oncology. I am the site-primary investigator of a number of early phase clinical trials and cancer biology studies at our institution.  Additionally, I am the Hasbro Children's Hospital site principal investigator for the Brown University Oncology Research Group. In addition to my research interests, my clinical practice is in pediatric oncology with a specific focus on neuroblastoma, bone sarcoma, and soft tissue sarcoma.

I am the course director for two clinical courses at Brown Medical School:

Brown Peds-451: Outpatient elective in pediatric hematology-oncology

Brown Peds-468: Inpatient sub-internship in pediatric hematology-oncology
