In medical school at Columbia VP&S, Michael joined a translational brain tumor laboratory led by Dr. Jeffrey N Bruce and Dr. Peter Canoll, where he was awarded both an NIH T35 training grant as well as a Columbia University Dean's Research Fellowship, both aimed at understanding patient-specific responses to a variety of targeted chemotherapies and immunotherapies in glioma.
