I am a physician-scientist at Loyola University Chicago, with a clinical practice and research focus in advanced lung cancer. I received my MD/PhD in Cancer Biology at the University of Chicago. I then completed a combined Internal Medicine residency and Hematology/Oncology fellowship and post-doctoral fellowship under the physician-scientist training program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Now as an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Loyola University Chicago, I see patients in the multidisciplinary thoracic oncology clinic at the Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center, where we offer personalized treatment integrating comprehensive genomic testing, multidisciplinary care, and clinical trials. My laboratory is interested in studying lung cancer behaviors in distinct metastatic microenvironments, employing patient-derived cancer organoids and 3D micro physiologic co-culture systems. We aim to understand how the environment drives resistance to targeted therapy or immunotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer.
