In my research I am studying new magnetic resonance imaging biomarkers for pediatric brain tumors. I am also investigating the application of AI in digital pathology and imaging as well as mapping of genetic and epigenetic predisposition to cancer.
I am Senior Consultant in Pediatric Oncology. Head of pediatric neurooncology in the Southeast Healthcare Region.
