Tell us about your research.
"
My clinical and research interests focus on sarcomas, a rare family of cancers that tend to be aggressive with limited treatment options. My research explores tumor innervation and immune regulation in undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, the most common subtype of sarcoma."

Why is your science important?
"
Understanding the underlying biology is the only path forward for developing new therapies and improving outcomes for patients."

If you could have one super power what would it be and why?
"
Time travel!  Not necessarily to influence the past or future (as tempting as that may be), but just to meet people from and experience different eras."
