About
Biography
As Director of Clinical Trials and Industry Relations for CTRACT, my work connects researchers across organizations and helps teams fund, promote and conduct clinical trials.
I also serve as Associate Program Director for Ohio State's General Surgery Residency Program; as Surgical Director for the College of Medicine's Clinical Skills Education and Assessment Center; and as the Medical Director for University Hospital's K9W Acute Care Unit. These leadership and training roles keep me at the forefront of surgical technology and techniques.
I see the daily impact of research on my own burn, trauma and critical care patients - how rapid translation from bench to bedside transforms lives. My own research and areas of focus include repair, recovery and reconstruction of burns, frostbite and wounds. Being a researcher myself, I've had opportunities to participate and lead multiple studies, publish a variety of journal articles and education materials and present at local, national and international meetings and conferences.
