• Education: Master of Clinical Epidemiology, MD from University of NSW and University of Sydney

Research Interests include:

• Clinical benefits of radiotherapy in skin cancer
• Definitive and adjuvant radiation protocols
• Merkel cell carcinoma epidemiology
• High-risk cutaneous malignancies
• Prognostic staging systems

Article Trends show sustained focus on radiotherapy applications for non-melanoma skin cancers, with emphasis on Merkel cell carcinoma and cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas. Recent works analyze metastatic patterns, immunotherapy integration, and staging system improvements.

Clinical Approaches combine radiation therapy with surgical interventions, including sentinel lymph node biopsy protocols. His collaborations span multiple institutions, with significant contributions to head and neck cancer clinical guidelines.
