I am an Associate Professor and Physician Scientist in the Departments of Radiation Oncology, Neurological Surgery, and Pathology at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF). Eighty percent of my time is dedicated to research, and my lab is focused on understanding genomic, biochemical, and cellular drivers of brain tumor heterogeneity and evolution. To do so, we integrate human samples with evolutionarily-diverse preclinical models to understand brain tumor biology and develop new biomarkers and new therapies to improve treatments for patients. I am the Robert and Ruth Halperin Endowed Chair in Meningioma Research, and the Director of the Preclinical Therapeutics Core in the UCSF Brain Tumor Center. As a practicing physician, I use radiotherapy and radiosurgery to treat adult and pediatric patients with nervous system tumors.
