Cleveland Clinic Florida
Weston, United States
I am a neuro-oncologist and the section leader of neuro-oncology at Cleveland Clinic Florida. After 4 years of working as a neuro-oncologist at Orlando Health, I was selected as the inaugural section leader in neuro-oncology in August 2021. My main focus here is to develop a neuro-oncology program with a wide outreach, start clinical trials in neuro-oncology and maintain a robust portfolio of outcomes research. I have received formal training in clinical research at NIH. I have an expertise in clinical protocol writing and management of ongoing clinical trials. I have been a PI or AI in multiple brain tumor studies. Neuro-oncological patients are a deeply vulnerable group, who lie at the complex junction of neurology and oncology. The prognosis of brain cancers is poor and much more awareness, advocacy and leadership is needed in this area. I aim to develop leadership in the field of neuro-oncology and serve my community, which now spreads across six counties, through a combination of conventional and telemedicine neuro-oncology.
