I am an Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Director of Clinical Research in the Division of Oncology and solid tumors attending at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC. My research has focused on the development of novel therapeutics for pediatric solid tumors, sarcomas, and NF1 associated tumors, in particular malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST). I serve as the MPNST disease committee chair for the Department of Defense Clinical Trials Consortium and institutional Principal Investigator at Children’s National for the Children’s Oncology Group Pediatric Early Phase Clinical Trials Network. I serve as the Principal investigator for multiple consortia and investigator initiated clinical trials of novel drug and devices for children, adolescents, and young adults with solid tumors and sarcoma.
