My research goals are to continue expanding my expertise as a principal investigator within pediatric neuro-oncology clinical research by leading multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional clinical trials directed at children and young adults with central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Such experience will lead to my ultimate career goal to become a leader in the field of pediatric neuro-oncology and advance our field by improving survival and long-term outcomes in pediatric patients with CNS tumors through early phase clinical trials and developmental therapeutics.
