Our Research

Over the last few decades, multiple breakthroughs in cancer research have led to revolutionary new treatments for those affected by cancer. Progress in gastrointestinal cancers, however, has been far too slow. Our group focuses on accelerating research and improve outcomes by developing novel therapeutic combinations and prevention strategies for gastrointestinal malignancies. Specifically, we are interested in advancing non-chemotherapy-based treatments for pancreatic, bile duct, colorectal, and gastroesophageal cancers.

We are a group of collaborative individuals working both at Brown University's Legorreta Cancer Center and the Lifespan Cancer Institute. Our team is composed of physicians, scientists, engineers, and students at all levels of training who are all focused on a single goal: to beat cancer.
