I am currently an Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at Harvard Medical School (HMS) and serve as Director of the Base of Skull Service and a member of the Pediatric Service in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). Previously, I also served as a member of the Breast Service from 2006 to 2018 and Director of the Breast Service. My expertise lies in the treatment of breast, pediatric and base-of-skull tumors with a technology called proton therapy. I have privledges at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Boston Children’s Hospital to provide proton therapy for their pediatric patients and promote collaboration and appropriate utilization of this costly therapy. Providing comprehensive care to patients and their families and educating remains the most fulfilling aspect of my career.

I do not have any relevant financial / non-financial relationships with any proprietary interests.
