He has research interests in the development of novel apheresis-based cancer therapies, clinical application of metronomic chemotherapy, metronomic chemo-endocrine and chemo-targeted therapies for the treatment of breast, prostate, and ovarian cancers. CEO Snehal Patel commented, \"Poland has a reputation for large treatment centers with high enrollment and standard of care. We look forward to working with Dr. Wysocki who is serving as the national principal investigator for Poland in FLAMINGO-01. We have been impressed with the sites that we have visited to date.
