Biography

I practice in an academic medical center (UCLA). I am a member of the UCLA Center for Pancreatic Diseases and have a particular interest in pancreatic cancer. I also have a joint appointment in the Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology. My laboratory uses molecular biology techniques to identify novel predictive biomarkers as well as targets for molecular-based therapy for patients with pancreatic cancer.
