    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    As an Assistant Professor in Hematology/Oncology based at the San Francisco VA with dual training in aging research, I am passionate about improving care for older patients with cancer. My research focuses on understanding the interactions between cancer, cancer therapy, and geriatric syndromes such as cognitive impairment. My ultimate goal is to develop ways to improve the care of older adults with cancer and cognitive impairment.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication.
