As a physician-scientist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to advancing our understanding of immune responses, particularly the role of T cells, a type of white blood cell, in antibody production. My work is driven by a passion for uncovering the intricacies of the immune system to improve clinical decision-making and patient outcomes. At the NYU Langone Vaccine Center, I focus on developing innovative tools and methodologies to conduct clinically relevant immunology research, which is essential for guiding effective treatments and preventive measures.

I specialize in internal medicine and infectious diseases, with a particular emphasis on immunology. My clinical training, combined with extensive research in the laboratory, allows me to explore the complex interactions between T follicular helper CD4 T cells and B cells. This dual expertise positions me uniquely to address critical questions about immune responses and their implications for patient care.

My journey into medicine began with a deep-seated interest in the immune system and its potential to revolutionize healthcare. I pursued my medical degree and specialized training in internal medicine and infectious diseases, driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact on patient health. With years of experience in the field, I am committed to leveraging my knowledge to benefit those at high risk for chronic conditions and infectious diseases.

Research Summary

Antibody responses are of central importance in the immune responses, yet we are still unable to confidently predict antibody responses. As a physician-scientist, my long-term goal is to understand the T cell determinants of antibody responses as well as its potential in guiding clinical decision-making. Since joining NYU as a faculty member in the NYU Vaccine Center, I have worked to develop the tools and ability to conduct clinically relevant immunology research in order to understand CD4 T cell control of B cell responses. I pair my clinical training in Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases with bench research training in immunology to develop a framework to address questions about T follicular helper CD4 T cell (Tfh) and B cell biology.
