I am a board-certified Oncologist and Hematologist. I hold the faculty title of Associate Professor of Medicine and Director of the Phase 1 program for Solid tumors. As a Gastro-intestinal (GI) medical Oncology attending, my clinical expertise is in providing care for patients receiving both standards of care and research treatments as part of clinical trials, with a focus on gastrointestinal malignancies at the Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Health, an NCI, designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. As a clinical investigator, my research is focused on optimizing treatment selection and improving the outcomes of adults with Gastro-Intestinal cancers (esophageal, gastric, pancreas, bile duct, liver, small bowel, colorectal and anal cancers) with active involvement in Clinical trial designs, translational studies, and retrospective studies related to Gastrointestinal Malignancies. My clinical trial portfolio includes investigator-initiated trials, cooperative group trials, and industry-sponsored treatment studies. I have published over 50 articles on this topic and collaborated on clinical research locally and nationally.
