In addition to his clinical focus, he is committed to the education of surgical Otolaryngology residents and fellows, and research. His research interests include pre-surgery chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy for patients afflicted with advanced oropharyngeal and skin cancers, and in maximizing and restoring function, and minimizing morbidity following free flap reconstruction in the head and neck.
