Specializations
Ophthalmology and retinal disease
Clinical research interest includes age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, uveitic macular edema, retinal vein occlusion, and retinitis pigmentosa, with attention to visual function and retinal preservation.
- Neovascular age-related macular degeneration
- Geographic atrophy
- Macular edema
- Retinitis pigmentosa
Work in this area also extends to intravitreal treatment strategies and surgical eye care, including procedures related to vitrectomy and cataract surgery.
Inflammatory and autoimmune disorders
Research activity covers immune-mediated conditions affecting the skin, joints, glands, and systemic organs, with a strong focus on chronic inflammatory disease burden and symptom control.
- Atopic dermatitis
- Prurigo nodularis
- Psoriasis-related inflammatory skin disease
- Sjögren’s syndrome
Additional therapeutic interest includes systemic sclerosis, vasculitis, lupus, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and other immune system diseases.
Oncology and hematologic malignancies
Clinical trial involvement spans solid tumors and blood cancers, with emphasis on advanced disease, recurrence prevention, and treatment-resistant malignancies.
- Breast cancer
- Lung cancer
- Melanoma
- Lymphoma
Other areas include acute leukemia, multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndrome, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, urothelial carcinoma, and gastrointestinal malignancies.
Cardiometabolic, renal, and liver disease
Research interests include disorders of cardiovascular risk, myocardial function, kidney injury, and metabolic liver disease, reflecting broad involvement across internal medicine.
- Heart failure
- Chronic kidney disease
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus
- Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis
Additional focus includes hypertension, cardiovascular disease, amyloid cardiomyopathy, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency-associated liver disease, and primary sclerosing cholangitis.
