Research Interests

My clinical interests are in leveraging patients' existing or transplanted immune system to treat pediatric and young adult cancers. This dovetails with my research interests, which are primarily focused on: (1) profiling and understanding the immune microenvironment of pediatric malignancies; and (2) improving our understanding of how we harness, optimize and drive an augmented immune system after transplant to treat cancer.
