Driven by a passion for neurosurgery and brain tumor research, I am a postdoctoral fellow with hands-on expertise in advanced molecular techniques, working to uncover the epigenetic underpinnings of glioblastoma multiform. My clinical background as a neurosurgery resident at AUBMC, where I managed intricate patient cases and got trained in surgical care, complements my dedication to translational science. With a strong foundation in clinical and basic research, I aim to bridge patient care and cutting-edge research to advance neurosurgical outcomes.
