About Me
As a radiologist at NYU Langone, my dedication to providing comprehensive care is driven by a deep interest in musculoskeletal imaging and intervention. I specialize in diagnosing and treating common conditions such as sports injuries, arthritis, and bone and soft tissue tumors. I am also passionate about integrating the latest technology into clinical practice. In my role as vice chair for strategy within the Department of Radiology, I lead the integration of FDA-approved artificial intelligence algorithms.
Beyond radiology, I am deeply involved in translational science. As the associate dean for translational science and director of NYU Langone’s Clinical and Translational Science Institute, I guide the strategic growth of NYU Langone’s clinical and translational research program. This includes directing the development of external partnerships related to clinical research, enhancing clinical trial participant recruitment through technological advances, and mentoring clinical research leaders.
Throughout my career, I have been acknowledged for my leadership and innovative initiatives, especially in mentorship and people development. I have established numerous programs to support the academic and professional growth of faculty and trainees. This commitment to mentorship has earned me awards such as the Innovative Initiatives Award from the Boston Women’s Workforce Council, the AAMC Group on Women in Medicine and Science Leadership Award, and the Shirley Driscoll Dean’s Leadership Award for the Enhancement of Women’s Careers from Harvard Medical School.
My journey into medicine was inspired by a desire to make a difference in patients’ lives through the power of diagnostic excellence. I am a fellow of the American College of Radiology and a Scholar in Diagnostic Excellence of the National Academy of Medicine. These recognitions affirm my accomplishments, leadership, and potential to advance diagnostic excellence and equity, improve diagnosis, reduce diagnostic errors, and contribute to the work of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine consensus report "Improving Diagnosis in Health Care".

Research Summary
My translational research centers on advanced functional imaging techniques to explore the impact of various fat depots and muscle on bone metabolism and metabolic risk across the age and weight spectrum. I have developed new functional imaging methods to quantify bone marrow adipose tissue, brown adipose tissue, intramyocellular lipids, intrahepatic lipids, and muscle mitochondrial function to determine their effects on bone health, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular risk in individuals with obesity, insulin resistance, growth hormone disorders, and anorexia nervosa.
A significant aspect of my work involves the use of opportunistic imaging, particularly opportunistic CT. This approach leverages imaging data embedded within CT scans originally performed for other clinical purposes and can provide valuable insights into aging-related changes in the body, including bone density, muscle mass, and fat distribution without the need for additional tests or radiation exposure. This could be leveraged for early detection of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. Collaborative research between my group and other colleagues include the development of cost-effective ways to monitor these age-related changes and guide interventions to improve health outcomes.
