Personal profile
Research Interests
Primary research interests are in adult and pediatric genito-urinary and CNS cancers including prostate cancer, Wilms tumor and brain tumors. The other areas of interest include development of novel therapies for recurrent tumors including prostate, brain, sarcomas, Wilms tumor and neuroblastoma. Radiosurgery, hyperthermia,intra-operative radiation therapy, brachytherapy, novel IMRT techniques, proton therapy and nanoparticle-mediated delivery of novel radiosensitizing therapy are areas of ongoing clinical and basic research.
