About
Biography
A physician-scientist, I received my MD from the University of Pittsburgh and completed residency and fellowship training through the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Research Pathway, also at the University of Pittsburgh. In 2019, I was recruited to the Ohio State University as an Assistant Professor of Medicine and Assistant Director of the Acute Lung Injury Center. My research focuses on molecular mechanisms contributing to pathobiology in critical illnesses, such as the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and sepsis.
My lab focuses on the molecular regulation of pathobiology in critical illness syndromes, specifically severe pneumonia, ARDS and sepsis. Utilizing a bedside to bench (and back) approach, we use cutting edge technologies for molecular profiling of human biospecimens collected from critically ill patients to identify molecules and pathways that contribute to clinical outcomes. We then interrogate those targets to identify mechanisms driving dysregulated biology, using cell-based and animal preclinical models. Ultimately, my goal is to identify molecular targets to develop novel therapeutics for critical ill patients.
