About

I am a medical oncologist specializing in the care of patients with lung cancer. I work together with a team of medical oncologists, thoracic surgeons, radiation oncologists and nurses in order to deliver the best possible care and support for our patients  and their families.

My research is aimed at developing optimal therapies to treat cancers that harbor BRAF or KRAS mutations, as well as at understanding how these proteins affect intracellular signaling and cellular function.

For general information, call Memorial Sloan Kettering at 212-639-2000, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To make an appointment, call us at 800-525-2225, Monday through Friday between 8:30 AM and 5:30 PM ET.
