He has been involved with clinical research studies using stem cells in the areas of cardiac regeneration, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer treatments. Most recently, he has secured an Investigator-initiated IND from the FDA to study a novel treatment of solid tumors using only healthy white blood cells. His innovative approach to medicine has earned him international recognition.

“The harder I work and the more dedicated my care, the closer we all get to beating cancer. The constant strides in science, research and technology have given new hope to patients who, as recently as ten years ago, may have had none. The treatments are getting more effective, the success rates are getting higher, and it's because doctors like me simply refuse to rest.”
