Research

As a clinical investigator, Halperin is dedicated to providing world-class clinical care and developing novel therapies for patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), which are tumors that develop from a diffuse network of neuroendocrine cells that make and release hormones into the bloodstream to control essential bodily functions. He has played a leading role in clinical trials of immunotherapy and radioligands for patients with NETs. He also collaborates with laboratory and population scientists to deepen our understanding of the molecular basis and clinical presentation of neuroendocrine tumors.
