He then completed fellowship training in Medical Oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and postdoctoral research at The Rockefeller University.   Dr. Moy is actively involved in translational research to understand the biological mechanisms that regulate metastasis, the primary driver of mortality in gastrointestinal cancers. He has performed laboratory-based research to define critical genes that promote liver metastasis in colorectal cancer. He is also conducting research to discover key vulnerabilities in esophageal and gastric cancers, with the goal of translating these findings from the lab to develop more effective treatments for patients. As an active member of the gastrointestinal oncology and experimental therapeutics groups, Dr. Moy is involved in developing and leading clinical trials investigating novel targeted and immunotherapy treatments for esophagogastric cancer and other malignancies. His work has been recognized by several awards including a Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation Fellow Award and a National Cancer Institute (NCI) K08 Career Development Award.   Dr. Moy works as part of a multidisciplinary team with the mission of delivering compassionate and state-of-the-art oncologic care to each patient, using a precision medicine approach to provide innovative and promising treatments.
