About Me

I am a medical oncologist who specializes in treating patients with thoracic malignancies, including lung cancer, mesothelioma and thymic cancers. I completed my residency in internal medicine at Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY, and my chief residency at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I came to The Ohio State University for my fellowship in hematology and medical oncology, which I completed in 2017, serving as chief fellow for the 2016–2017 academic year. While in that position, I expanded upon our systems-based education curriculum and led the development of a Quality Improvement Program to optimize procedure training for our new fellows.

As a member of the Translational Therapeutics Program at the OSUCCC – James, my research interests include the use of immunotherapy in patients with thoracic cancers and developing ways to better identify patients who are likely to benefit most from these treatments while minimizing toxicities. Under the mentorship of Dr. David Carbone and Dr. Gregory Otterson, I have written several early phase trials for patients with thoracic malignancies, including a multi-center phase II trial of immunotherapy in early stage non-small cell lung cancer.

My research has been published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, Journal of Thoracic Disease and Journal of Oncology Practice, among others, and I am honored to have been selected as a recipient of the American Society of Clinical Oncology Conquer Cancer Foundation’s Young Investigator Award.

I feel very fortunate to be at The James and to be surrounded by passionate team members, clinicians and scientists who are all focused on improving the treatment and care of patients with cancer. Having done my fellowship training here, I have been awed by the impact that The James has had in this community. It’s been extremely rewarding working together to help our patients.

    Again, I can't say enough about Dr. Owen. I can't believe we were fortunate enough to get time in to see him so quickly. His kindness, professionalism and knowledge about lung cancer gave us so much information we were desperatly needing. He is truely a blessing and seems to be making such a difference with this aweful disease.
