I am a physician-scientist in dermatology who has trained as a physicist and bioengineer. I am interested in engineering novel therapeutics for infectious and autoimmune skin diseases. My research encompasses structural and computational biology, microbiology, and fundamental skin immunology. Clinically, I plan to subspecialize in immunodermatology and rheumatologic dermatology.
