About

I’m a neuropathology fellow and postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University, working in the laboratories of Theo Roth and Michelle Monje.

My research uses non-viral high-throughput genetic engineering to build CNS-enhanced CAR T-cell therapies for malignant brain tumors. I also lead biomarker validation for several CAR T-cell clinical trials targeting pediatric and adult brain tumors.

I earned my MD and PhD in Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Florida, where I developed immunotherapies for medulloblastoma in Duane Mitchell’s lab. Before residency, I was an early employee at iOncologi, building hematopoietic stem cell therapies and mRNA vaccines for brain tumors.

Outside the lab — husband, father, powerlifter.
