Summary

  • I am Assistant Professor of Pathology at Harvard Medical School and an Associate Pathologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. I received my MD/PhD from Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine in 2007, where I worked in Emil Unanue’s laboratory studying confirmation-dependent T cell responses, then trained at Brigham and Women's Hospital as a resident in pathology and fellow in hematopathology, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Arlene Sharpe’s laboratory studying the role of coinhibitory pathways on effector and regulatory T cells, prior to joining the faculty in 2014. My research interests include the role of the PD-1 pathway and other coinhibitory pathways in hematologic malignancy, and the development of novel immunohistochemical and molecular diagnostic assays for diagnosis and personalized therapy of hematologic malignancy. My clinical practice activities include signout on the Hematopathology and Molecular Diagnostic Pathology services. I am also active in educational leadership and curriculum development at Harvard Medical School, where I am a member of the Academy Center for Teaching and Learning, co-direct the Foundations course for first-year medical students in the Pathways curriculum and the Pathology of Human Disease course (HBTM 200) for graduate students in the Leder Program in Human Biology and Translational Medicine, and serve as core faculty in the Homeostasis I course.
