Desarrollé la primera clínica pediátrica bilingüe para niños hispanos con trastornos sanguíneos y oncológicos en los Estados Unidos. Mi investigación se centra en las disparidades en la atención sanitaria, incluido el panorama genómico específico de esta población, y en desarrollar protocolos internacionales/nacionales que aborden las disparidades en esta población.
Administro exitosamente dos protocolos de leucemia financiados por subvenciones en 8 hospitales de México y en CMH. Llevamos a cabo dos estudios dedicados al sarcoma pediátrico con énfasis en la población hispana. Nuestro trabajo sobre el sarcoma ha llevado a la investigación traslacional, y soy la IP de un modelo de xenoinjerto que está evaluando la eficacia de un nuevo agente en el sarcoma de Ewing.
Soy codirector de nuestro programa de Terapéutica Experimental y tengo experiencia en el desarrollo de ensayos clínicos de fase inicial, así como en la supervisión de dichos ensayos en el entorno clínico.
Una de mis funciones principales es mejorar el acceso a los ensayos clínicos para pacientes/familias con un dominio limitado del inglés. Tengo experiencia en el diseño, la realización y la interpretación de los resultados de los estudios preclínicos. También soy director de World Child Cancer, USA-México, una organización sin ánimo de lucro dedicada a mejorar los resultados del tratamiento de cáncer de niños en México.
