Biography

I am a physician scientist and medical oncologist at Stanford University. My laboratory operates at the intersection of functional genomics and chemical biology, focusing on advancing novel molecular mechanisms for cancer inhibition for clinical use. My research aims to leverage phenotypic screening and functional genomics to identify novel anti-cancer mechanisms of small molecules, develop new targeted therapy approaches for solid tumors, and establish a comprehensive community resource for drug repurposing discovery. I hold the position of Assistant Professor in both the Department of Medicine, with a courtesy appointment in Chemical Systems Biology, and I am a member of the faculty at Stanford University.
