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 digestive cancer outcomes and reducing cancer disparities through data science, cohort building, and biomarker development. 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.
