I currently serve as director of Memorial Cancer Center and have served as the lead investigator at Memorial for multiple cooperative group studies. In 2017 Memorial accrued 103 patients to clinical trials. Our group sees between 150-200 new patients per month. We have prospective tumor-boards and multidisciplinary clinics to facilitate identification of patients who may be eligible for research studies.

On October 1, 2012 Memorial Health System became a part of the University of Colorado Health system. In 2013, Memorial Cancer Center became a Lead Academic Participating Site (LAPS) within the National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN). Memorial Hospital has had a strong track record of cooperative group research collaboration and performance which has increased during the last 4 years as an integral part of the University of Colorado LAPS site. We look forward to the continued integration of clinical trials across the entire University of Colorado Health System and University of Colorado Cancer Center.

I have developed expertise in gastrointestinal, thoracic and neuro-oncology and regularly staff our weekly multidisciplinary clinics. I serve as Medical Director for Oncology Research at Memorial and meet regularly with investigators, the research team and UCHealth research administration.
