Meet Dr. Phillips

I am a neuro-oncologist who specializes in caring for people with primary brain tumors as well as neurologic complications of cancer (e.g. brain and leptomeningeal metastases, paraneoplasia, radiation necrosis). I am humbled by the opportunity to work with patients and their families during what can be a very vulnerable time. I have a special interest in the biology of brain tumors and direct a research lab where we discover new insights into these tumors such that more effective therapies can be developed.
