Research

Cancer isn't one disease, and access isn't one problem

Here's how I think about both — the three areas my research and writing sit at the intersection of.

01

Tumor Biology & Precision Medicine

Understanding how tumors communicate with their environment — the immune cells and microbial signals inside them — and why that complexity matters for who precision medicine actually works for.

02

Drug Discovery & Pricing

Following the path from lab discovery to priced treatment, and identifying exactly where affordability gets decided — and where it gets ignored.

03

Access & Policy in New York

Mapping where low-income families actually lose access to cancer treatment — insurance eligibility, geography, clinical trial enrollment, and beyond.

Findings referenced in my writing stay to public, published research and general field knowledge — nothing from unpublished lab work appears here without appropriate sign-off.
