About
Biography
I am an assistant professor in the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition within the Department of Internal Medicine at The Ohio State University College of Medicine, and my research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in how liver injury develops into liver failure and cirrhosis, as well as how the liver ultimately regenerates. I specifically focus on investigating how blood vessels within the liver and in other organs regulate the progression of acute liver failure and decompensated cirrhosis.
In addition to my clinical work in transplant hepatology, I have extensive training in biomedical research. I have special interest in understanding how the heart, lung and brain are affected by liver disease. Through this research, I aim to advance our understanding of the physiology of liver failure and to identify new therapeutic strategies that can help critically ill patients successfully reach liver transplantation.
By studying the complex interactions between the liver and other organ systems, I seek to translate scientific discoveries into treatments that improve outcomes for patients with advanced liver disease.
