Research Interests:

• Radiation therapy dose optimization
• AMPK/mTOR pathway modulation
• Metformin and canagliflozin as radiosensitizers
• Prostate and lung cancer clinical trials
• Cardiac toxicity in thoracic RT
• Global radiotherapy access disparities

Recent Article Trends: His 2024-2025 publications emphasize brachytherapy shortages, geographic treatment disparities, and metabolic drug combinations with radiotherapy. Studies include phase III trials comparing SBRT vs. conventional RT and biomarker analyses like GDF15 in NSCLC.
