Research Interests
The long term goal of my research activity is to develop new treatments for metastatic colorectal cancer. This has lead to several clinical trials of biologics and more recently to several trials of new devices. We have developed models that have led to a better understanding of the conversion of energy into heat. These models have resulted in our development of several devices that we have patented and tested in animal and human models. The current appendix will allow the further development of a device for bloodless liver resection.
