Summary

  • I am currently an Assistant Professor in Rheumatology in the Physician Scholar Track with a strong background in Immunology who is immensely interested in human translational research as it applies to systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) and the idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) group of disorders. My main research focus is the role of inflammation and the study of its’ organization, cellular make-up, and presence of cognate versus non-cognate immune interactions by means of computerized, objective, and high-throughput techniques based on image analysis of multichannel immunofluorescently-labeled images of human tissue, acquired with confocal laser scanning microscopy. We have developed cutting edge approaches to the segmentation and analysis of in vivo cellular interactions based on Convolutional Neural Networks and Deep Learning-based approaches.

        Having been interested in basic and translational research since college, I have acquired a broad foundation of research techniques and have had hands-on training in key aspects of data acquisition and analysis under multiple excellent mentors. Besides the standard medical basic science curriculum, I have participated in several years of additional independent study, including the AAI Advanced Immunology Course and advanced graduate courses in Immunology and Image Analysis at the University of Chicago, the Optical Microscopy and Imaging in the Biomedical Sciences course offered at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, as well as the NIH Big Tap curriculum at Purdue University to further my knowledge in each respective area. In addition, I recently successfully completed a Master's Degree in Medical Bioinformatics with focuses on Image Analysis and Big Data Analytics.
