Research Summary

I have a special interest in interfacing clinical outcomes and multimodality radiographic biomarkers using automated processing methods and machine learning and integrating these into the brain metastasis clinic. I am working on the development of quantitative PK/PD imaging methods and ways to translate and incorporate these into future clinical trials. It is my mission to ensure recruitment and retention of underrepresented patient populations into clinical trials.

    Dr Kamson is great and his NP, [staff], is the best. My only complaint is the process for making MRI and Dr appointments. We are grateful to have been squeezed in - but we never should have had to scramble for appointments.
