Personal Statement
I am a medical oncologist and the co-leader of the Genitourinary Clinical Working Group (GU-CWG) at the University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center (UNMCCC). My focus is on developing novel treatment strategies in testicular and bladder cancer. I am leading the clinical trials in genitourinary malignancies and working on translational research in these areas. As the Co-Leader of the GU-CWG, I have been collaborating with the urology and radiation oncology teams to build a trial menu well balanced with the NCI clinical trials. I have participated in several NRG, SWOG, ECOG, and Alliance trials in GU cancers in the capacity of principal investigator and co-investigator. I have been selected as member for the GU working group of Hoosier Cancer Research Network (HCRN) and immunooncology committee of Alliance. I also collaborate with basic research scientists to develop clinical trials relevant to our patient population. Currently I am working on a project on a new class of dug, NQO1 bioactivatable agents, in patients with relapsed/refractory germ cell tumors.
