My current research is primarily in utilizing precision oncology to improve therapy for breast and colon cancer. I have been collaborating closely with Caris Life Sciences to perform next generation sequencing analyses on large numbers of patients. I am also in the process of writing an investigator initiated phase 1b/2 clinical trial evaluating a novel treatment combination for metastatic breast cancer.
Please see below for a full list of my publications.

While my main focus is on my training and patient care, other interests include oil painting, volunteering and Indian dance.
One of my recent projects was Medical Grounds, collecting and sharing the stories of healthcare workers around the world. Doctors and other medical professionals get an intimate view of the situation their patients face day to day. Their stories also underscore the commonalities in medicine across countries and circumstances.
A few years ago I was fortunate to volunteer at St. Luke's Leprosy Hospital in India. More recently I have volunteered at Poverello House in Fresno, CA.
I also have an interest in how emerging technologies can aid the quality and accessibility of healthcare. For example, I presented at the MedicineX conference on how artificial intelligence can aid in interpreting radiological scans.
