Summary
- I am currently the Vice Chair for Faculty in the Department of Pediatrics at Duke University School of Medicine and a faculty leader in the Trial Innovation Center and the Pediatric Trials Network at the Duke Clinical Research Institute. I earned my medical degree from Jefferson Medical College and pediatric and subspecialty training in pediatric rheumatology at the AI duPont Hospital for Children/Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. During fellowship, I obtained a Master’s of Science in Clinical Epidemiology degree from the University of Pennsylvania. I completed an additional fellowship in pediatric clinical pharmacology at Children’s Mercy, Kansas City, where I also served as Division Director of Rheumatology and Associate Chair for the Department of Pediatrics, prior to transferring to Duke in 2019. My research, focused primarily on variability in drug response in JIA, has been funded by the Kansas City Area Life Sciences Institute, the PhRMA Foundation, the Rheumatology Research Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health.
