Biography

I am a surgical oncologist and member of the Breast Cancer Management team at MSKCC. I conduct research focused on understanding how breast cancers decrease potentially beneficial anti-tumor immune responses. I became interested in immune responses during a three-year research fellowship at MSKCC where I studied the immune system in the setting of inflammation and infection.

Research Interest

 Cancer surgery, breast cancer, cancer therapies
