Summary

I am a scientist at heart, having begun my career as a Mechanical and Aerospace Engineer at Texas Instruments in 1982. I became interested in biomedical science and began the combined MD/PhD program at UCLA in 1991. I completed medical school in 1998, PhD (Physiology) in 1999 and Internal Medicine residency in 2001, all at UCLA. Since that time, I have worked in Hospital Medicine, mostly as a clinician along with management and quality improvement positions, most of which were at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Recent advances in Genomics and Precision Medicine have led me to complete Professional Certification in Genetics and Genomics through Stanford University in 2018. This training included coursework in next generation sequencing (NGS) of DNA and RNA, transcriptome analysis, pharmacogenomics, microbiomics, epigenetics, proteomics, gene editing and stem cell techniques. I recognize the significance of these technological developments empowered by incredible advances in basic science research, along with the development of powerful tools for sequencing and data analysis that leverages artificial intelligence. The current one-size-fits-all approach to healthcare does not seem to begin to leverage the incredible realities that the state of biomedical science finds itself in 2021. These advancements will enable prediction, prevention, treatment and cures for diseases by personalizing treatment based on each individual patient's genetic, biochemical and physiologic signature.

Precision Medicine will ultimately deliver healthcare more efficiently and cost-effectively than current models, enabling us to deliver better healthcare to more people for less GDP. I will combine my extensive clinical experience and leadership, along with my strong scientific background and knowledge of Precision Medicine, to help lead the Internal Medicine community in bringing Precision Medicine to routine clinical practice.
