Current Fellows
Chief Residency: Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA
Residency: Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA
Medical Degree: SUNY Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, NY
Year in Program: 3rd year
Research Projects: My research projects focus on conditions that predispose our patients to gastrointestinal malignancies. I am currently evaluating novel endoscopic methods for early detection of signet ring cell adenocarcinomas in patients with CDH1 gene mutation predisposed to hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC). I am also analyzing how we care for patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (MEN1-ZES), with a focus on improving how we monitor gastric acid suppression endoscopically and clinically in this cohort. I am interested in conditions that predispose patients to developing gastric intestinal metaplasia. I also study the gastrointestinal manifestations in patients with autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED), and follow a cohort of patients with familial small bowel carcinoid tumors.
Residency: George Washington University, Washington, DC
Medical Degree: Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, Richmond, VA
Year in Program: 3rd year
Research Projects: My current research projects include evaluating the presentation, natural history and diagnosis of familial midgut carcinoid tumors and colon cancer screening in various populations. I am also interested in studying the role of the microbiome in MEN/ZE, chronic granulomatous disease and chronic liver diseases.
Residency: Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick, NJ
Medical Degree: Sidney Kimmel Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA
Year in Program: 2nd Year
Research Projects: My primary research interests are in inflammatory bowel disease and the similar gastrointestinal involvement seen in patients with chronic granulomatous disease. I am currently working on projects in these areas including telemedicine in inflammatory bowel disease and several aspects of gastrointestinal disease in chronic granulomatous patients including studying their small bowel disease, characterizing radiographic findings, and understanding gut dysmotility. Additionally, I am involved in the care of and research in patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and familial carcinoid syndrome.
Residency: North Shore University/ LIJ Medical Center (Northwell) Internal Medicine Residency Program, Long Island, NY
Medical Degree: The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Washington, DC
Year in Program: 2nd Year
Research Projects: My research interests span multiple areas of gastroenterology including the evaluation of neoplasms and premalignant lesions of the upper GI tract, the role of the microbiome in chronic GI conditions as well as the pathogenesis of obesity and its implications on certain GI conditions. My current research projects include evaluating the presentation, natural history and diagnosis of familial midgut carcinoid tumors and identifying factors influencing the progression of gastric intestinal metaplasia. Other projects I am involved in include the clinical assessment of gastrointestinal motility impairment in individuals with type 1 and 2 myotonic dystrophy.
