Company description
I am an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, a practicing interventional pulmonologist, and a physician-scientist. Clinically trained in internal medicine, pulmonary diseases, critical care medicine, and interventional pulmonology, I see patients at the Harron Lung Center Perelman and perform advanced diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy and minimally invasive thoracic procedures at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. My National Cancer Institute (NCI)-funded research program focuses on the early detection of lung cancer and the optimization of the thoracic oncology diagnostic process. I am the Principal Investigator of the first investigator-initiated pragmatic randomized clinical trial assessing the effect of a pulmonary nodule risk stratification biomarker on medical decision-making (NCT05968898) and a member of the Population-based Research to Optimize the Screening Process (PROSPR) Lung Consortium, a NCI-funded multi-institutional research collaboration. I received my undergraduate degree from Yale College and MD from the Yale University School of Medicine. I completed internal medicine residency at Yale-New Haven Hospital and pulmonary, critical care, and interventional pulmonology fellowships at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. I also earned a Master of Science in Clinical Epidemiology (MSCE) degree from the University of Pennsylvania.
