He is a highly accomplished researcher and has published widely in esteemed journals in the field of cancer research, focusing on melanoma, soft tissue sarcoma, and breast cancer.

During his surgical training, David spent two years completing a doctorate at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute for Medical Research, focusing on breast stem cells and the immune system. As a result of this work, he won the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium Basic Science Scholarship. He is currently investigating the immune system and its role in preventing the spread of melanoma.
