I treat and am involved in clinical trials in pancreaticobiliary, kidney cancer and melanoma and have particular clinical and basic science research interest in cancer associated thrombosis (CAT).

I have published widely in CAT with particular focus on the thromboprophylaxis of the ambulatory cancer patient and the management of incidental pulmonary embolism in cancer patients.
