Penn Neurology is pleased to welcome Richard E. Phillips, MD, PhD, now seeing patients at the Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine.
Dr. Phillips is a graduate of the GKT School of Medical Education at King's College London, where he obtained both MD and PhD degrees. He then completed his internship at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), a residency in neurology at MGH/Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, and a fellowship in neuro-oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Board certified in neurology and neuro-oncology, Dr. Phillip's clinical and research interests are in primary brain tumors, with a particular focus on malignant glioma. His laboratory investigations have included examinations of the ways in which epigenetic mechanisms drive glioma and work to characterize novel therapeutic approaches for glioma.
Dr. Phillips is deeply committed to advancing laboratory discoveries to improve outcomes for brain tumor patients, particularly young adults between the ages of 18 and 40 years of age.
