Summary

  • I am a PGY-1 Internal Medicine resident at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center with eventual aspirations to practice as an academic cardiologist.

    My doctoral research in vascular biology, molecular control of the innate immune system, and immune-vascular crosstalk led to novel discoveries of how a delicate balance of immune cell activation can be leveraged and manipulated to combat acute and chronic inflammatory diseases seen by specialists across multiple disciplines.

    My hope is that my training in the basic science of inflammation will uniquely position me to one day advance therapeutic interventions throughout the cardiovascular system that contribute to some of the highest causes of morbidity and mortality.
