I am a medical oncologist with training also in pathology. I am a Professor in Medicine and Pathology at Icahn School of Medicine and Executive Director for Center for Thoracic Oncology at Tisch Cancer Institute, Mount Sinai, NY. My interest is lung cancer research, with special emphasis on new treatments, biomarker development and validation for treatment and early detection of lung cancer. My lab focuses on how to select patients for new targeted therapies, particularly in lung cancer (personalized medicine). I am the principal investigator of many clinical trials and a study chair for correlative science in the Lung Masterprotocol (LungMAP). Finally, I am the co-chair of the Lung Group (translational science) for the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG).I have published more than 400 scientific publications.
