Current Fellows
Residency: Georgetown University/ MedStar Washington Hospital Center
Medical School: Seth G.S. Medical College and KEM Hospital, Mumbai, India
Year in Program: 3rd Year
Research Projects: I have a deep interest in gastrointestinal and hepatic manifestations in patients with inborn errors of immunity. We are currently evaluating gastrointestinal disease in patient with CTLA4 haploinsufficiency. In addition, we are also studying screening for early gastric cancer in patients with hereditary gastric cancer syndrome secondary to CDH1 mutation. I have previously contributed to research in non-cirrhotic portal hypertension and sickle cell hepatopathy. I hope to learn from these rare diseases and apply this knowledge to grow understanding of pathophysiology and therapeutic alternatives for common gastrointestinal illnesses. I also have a fervent desire to find newer ways to tackle diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic challenges such as management of gastrointestinal bleeding and prevention of esophageal cancer in patients with Barrett’s esophagus.
Residency: Bridgeport Hospital, Yale New Haven Health
Medical School: Universidad Jose Matias Delgado
Year in Program: 3rd Year
Research Projects: I have a deep interest in Hepatology with a special interest in non-cirrhotic portal hypertension and understanding the hepatic manifestations that patients with inborn errors of immunity suffer. Currently, we are evaluating the Hepatic & Gastrointestinal manifestation in patients with CTLA4 haploinsufficiency. In addition, we are studying the best endoscopic method to perform gastric cancer surveillance in patients with CDH1 mutation. I hope to bring answers and help guide these patients with rare diseases through the uncertainty of their disease while I learn and apply this knowledge to understand the pathophysiology and therapeutic alternatives for common hepatic & gastrointestinal illnesses.
