I am a Professor of Medicine and Director of the Human Monoclonal Antibody Laboratory in the Department of Cell and Gene Therapy at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. I am also Medical Director of the Head and Neck Oncology Center at the Mount Sinai Medical Center, and Medical Director of the Clinical Trials Office for the Tisch Cancer Institute. I am an advocate for clinical research and multi-disciplinary care in head and neck cancer. I believe in giving the best possible care for patients with Head and Neck cancer based on a thorough understanding of the medical literature and the biology of the different head and neck cancers and the patient's needs and condition.
