Head and Neck Research

Biography/Statement

My lab focuses on delineating the mechanisms by which deregulated epigenetic factors contribute to cancer. It is important to have a detailed understanding of the deregulated cancer-associated transcription and epigenetic machinery to treat cancer. TCGA analysis has revealed multiple epigenetic cofactors as amplified or mutated in SCC. My own work has revealed novel epigenetic factor, ACTL6A and RUVBL1, are amplified in HNSCC, contributing to regenerative proliferation ( Cancer Cell, 2017, Oral Oncology, 2020). These factors are catalytic or key components of chromatin remodeling complexes and histone modifying enzymes. The gain and loss of functions of multiple epigenetic factors identified through genomic analysis and their contribution to tumorigenesis needs to be understood to develop targeted therapy in cancer. One of the major aims of the lab is to dissect the mechanisms by which these complex epigenetic and transcription factors drive tumor specific epigenetic plasticity in Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC).

 

In summary, my lab integrates genomics, epigenetics, and signaling to dissect the mechanisms contributing to head and neck cancer maintenance and progression.

Biography/Statement

I am a resident physician in Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at Emory University in Atlanta, GA (anticipated graduation 2022). I obtained my MD from Emory University School of Medicine in 2017. Prior to that, I completed undergraduate degrees in Microbiology and Romance Languages at the University of Georgia in 2012.

I am passionate about head & neck oncology as well as endocrine and reconstructive surgery of the head & neck.

Outside interests include the outdoors/hiking, running, carpentry, literature, medical/surgical history, and spending time with my wife and dogs.

Endocrine Surgery, Head and Neck Research

Biography/Statement

Work with thyroid and parathyroid diseases is my passion. I’ve been worked with these diseases for more than 30 years. In 2018 other colleagues and I introduced the Radiofrequency ablation for thyroid nodules in Brazil. Since then, we have performed more than 200 RFA and trained physicians for Brazil and abroad.

At Oswaldo Cruz German Hospital (one of the Top Ten private hospitals in Brazil), I can develop the best practices in Head and Neck Surgery, especially in Thyroid and Parathyroid diagnostic and treatments – focused on minimally invasive procedures and robotic surgery. Also, I can develop the teaching of Thyroid Surgery and research in the same field.

Now I’m starting a new position as Professor in Charge of Thyroid and Parathyroid Diseases Postgraduate “Sensu Lato” Course of CETRUS Medical Institute, a very prestigious institution in Brazil well known for developing skills and teaching medical professionals.

Besides this, I have the privilege of organizing many educational events for physicians and patients related to thyroid and parathyroid diseases and published two textbooks related to thyroid cancer and thyroid and parathyroid surgery.

I’m very proud to be a member of the Clinical Advisory Board of piur imaging GmbH – a company devoted to developing the innovative tomographic ultrasound solution.
