Referring physicians should know that she is available to give second opinions and discuss clinical trial opportunities.

Philosophy of care

“Research creates endless possibilities to discover new methods of treating complex diseases or enhancing people’s lives. As a clinical researcher, I’m passionate about contributing to the collection of knowledge that can lead to immediate medical solutions or future health innovations. I’m also grateful to clinical trial participants who are true healthcare pioneers and heroes.”
