Research in Lay Terms
My overall goal is to advance clinical and translational research activities in gastrointestinal (GI) cancers at UC Irvine through multidisciplinary collaborations. I have a broad background in basic, translational, and clinical oncology. Given the location of our cancer center in Orange County, CA, we serve a large number of minority patients. We want to offer novel clinical trials to all residents of Orange County.
