I am a former full-time member of the Sawyers laboratory, currently a research affiliate of the laboratory in my role as a clinical/translational investigator in the Genitourinary Oncology Service. My research is focused on understanding biological drivers of advanced prostate cancer in order to develop targeted clinical trials. I do this in large part through molecular profiling, including genomic analysis, of patient-derived biospecimens. I collaborate with laboratory colleagues to develop laboratory models of disease subsets that can serve as tools to understand mechanisms of resistance and drug targeting. I also oversee an institutional prostate cancer biospecimen and clinical data usage committee that aims to facilitate collaborative research using patient-derived samples and data across disciplines at MSKCC, with the ultimate goal of advancing our understanding of the disease and developing new therapies.

Members of the MSK Community often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community. These activities outside of MSK further our mission, provide productive collaborations, and promote the practical application of scientific discoveries.
MSK requires doctors, faculty members, and leaders to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public. Not all disclosed interests and relationships present conflicts of interest. MSK reviews all disclosed interests and relationships to assess whether a conflict of interest exists and whether formal COI management is needed.
