Bio
I am a gastroenterologist who seeks to use both science and clinical practice to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and therapy of digestive malignancies. My clinical practice is focused on the use of advanced endoscopic imaging procedures (such as endoscopic ultrasound, chromoendoscopy, and confocal endomicroscopy) to improve cancer detection, and therapeutic endoscopic procedures to remove or destroy cancer and precancerous lesions.
My research is aimed at improving the diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal malignancies though epidemiology, clinically-impactful biomarkers, understanding genetic bases of cancer risk, and evaluation of next generation sequencing methods for cancer prevention in real-world settings. My research is currently supported by an NIH Mentored Career Development Award (K08CA252635). I have formal pre-doctoral (NIH-Clinical Research Training Program) and post-doctoral (T32DK007056) training in epidemiology and clinical research.
