Summary

  • I am a Professor of Medicine and the Director of Advanced Endoscopy at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (OSU), Columbus, Ohio. •    
    I trained in advanced endoscopy at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Specific research interests include advancements in endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) techniques including in vivo confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) to evaluate pancreatic neoplasms and EUS-guided chemo and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of pancreatic lesions. I have successfully received NIH/NCI R01 (PI) funding for artificial intelligence (AI) guided accurate risk stratification of pancreatic cysts using novel imaging technologies.
