My clinical and research interests are focused on synovial sarcoma. As the team leader of the Synovial Sarcoma Working Group, I oversee a number of clinical and preclinical research projects that are an integral part of the Sarcoma Mini-Moonshot Program. Our group has already published on patients who have synovial sarcoma of the head and neck and another article on those with a primary synovial sarcoma of the hand or foot. We are about to submit for publication an article on patients with synovial sarcoma of the thorax. I have a graduate student who works under me whose thesis is on synovial sarcoma. I currently have three T cell trials targeting MAGE, NY-ESO-1, and PRAME. In addition, my department has the Foghorn phase I trial with a BRD9 degrader. My passion in life is helping those with a diagnosis of synovial sarcoma live as long as possible. As far as I know, I have seen more patients with synovial sarcoma than anyone in the world. Any patient with synovial sarcoma who wants to see me, I generally am able to provide an appointment the same week or within two weeks.
