🎓Key Contributions 主要贡献

BRAF V600E-Targeted Combination Therapy

Led the pivotal phase II basket trial establishing dabrafenib plus trametinib for BRAF V600E-mutated anaplastic thyroid carcinoma, achieving ~69% overall response rate and securing accelerated FDA approval in 2018.

RET Inhibitor Development

Conducted early-phase clinical trials of selective RET inhibitors (selpercatinib, pralsetinib) in RET-altered thyroid cancers, establishing new treatment options for medullary and papillary thyroid cancer patients.
