University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center / Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine
PGY5 Urology resident at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio.
I intend to pursue a fellowship through the Society of Urologic Oncology and craft a career that marries clinical practice/patient care with scientific inquiry of tumor biology and biochemistry. I am interested in exploring the interaction of the tumor/tumor microenvironment with the host immune system. I would also like to focus on the role that basic physiological pathways (growth pathways, metabolism, and cell signaling) play in the development and progression of cancer. The future of cancer care will require a much more nuanced understanding of the underlying cancer biology and the greatest advances made in modern day urologic oncology have been built on basic and translational work performed by physician-scientists. My goal is to advance the field’s understanding of the genetic evolution/progression of urologic cancers in order to develop therapies and technologies to tackle some of urology’s most complex challenges (biomarkers to determine who to treat and when, what to do when surgical treatment alone is insufficient, and how to personalize therapies for patients based on their cancer biology/genetics).
