RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

Research Focus

My research revolves around the better identification and treatment of aggressive prostate cancer. This includes basic research but primarily translational efforts and clinical trials (some examples below). I have also been a leader in the development and understanding of genomic tests for prostate cancer.

Investigator initiated trials translated from laboratory research of the Ross Laboratory –

1) A pharmacodynamics pre-surgical study of Hedgehog pathway inhibition with LDE225 in Men with high Risk localized prostate cancer

2) A Pilot Study of MK-3475 with Cryotherapy for Oligo-Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Trials of novel/emerging technologies

1) A Randomized Trial for the Use of Multi-Parametric MRI in Prostate Cancer Screening

2) A Pilot Study of PET/PSMA in men with Biochemically Recurrent Prostate Cancer.
