He completed his undergraduate training in biochemistry & biophysics at Oregon State University where he also earned a PhD in molecular toxicology. During his graduate and early post-doctoral training in the laboratory of Dr. Siva Kolluri, he studied ligand-activated nuclear transcription factors and utilized high-throughput small-molecule screening assays to identify and characterize a new series of selective modulators of the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor with unique anti-cancer properties. He completed medical school at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where he spent time in the laboratory of Dr. David Geller and Dr. Bang Hoang studying novel targets of osteosarcoma development. With a growing interest in orthopedic oncology, he recently completed an independent research year studying regulators of cancer-stem cells in soft tissue sarcomagenesis in the laboratory of Dr. Janai Carr-Ascher.
