Has run more than one trial at 5 of 7 partner sites.
Specializations
Infectious Diseases and Antimicrobial Therapy
Clinical research includes nontuberculous mycobacterial lung infection, HIV infection, chronic hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis D, bacterial bloodstream infection, and fungal infection, with additional interest in COVID-19, respiratory tract infections, and infection prophylaxis in immunocompromised settings.
- Mycobacterial lung disease
- Viral hepatitis
- HIV-related infection
- Sepsis
- Prevention of recurrent infection
Work in this area also extends to bronchiectasis, pleural empyema, pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis, and Clostridioides difficile infection, reflecting a strong therapeutic focus on complex infectious and post-infectious disease management.
Cardiovascular Medicine and Thromboembolic Disease
Research activity covers acute myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndromes, atrial fibrillation, stroke prevention, pulmonary embolism, heart failure, and broader atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, including patients with high residual inflammatory risk.
- Myocardial infarction
- Atrial fibrillation
- Stroke prevention
- Pulmonary embolism
- Coronary artery disease
Additional interests include cardiac arrest, post-cardiac surgery antithrombotic care, and cardiovascular risk reduction in patients with chronic kidney disease and metabolic comorbidity.
Oncology and Hematologic Malignancies
Clinical trial involvement spans breast cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, colorectal cancer, urothelial carcinoma, prostate cancer, melanoma, lung cancer, and gastrointestinal malignancies, together with multiple lymphoma and leukemia subtypes.
- Breast and ovarian cancers
- Prostate cancer
- Colorectal and gastric cancers
- Lymphoma
- Leukemia
Research also includes glioblastoma, medulloblastoma, glioma, myelodysplastic syndrome, and multiple myeloma, indicating broad involvement in both solid tumors and hematologic cancer care.
Autoimmune, Inflammatory, and Respiratory Disorders
Therapeutic interests include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, bronchiectasis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and antiphospholipid syndrome.
- Asthma and COPD
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Autoimmune rheumatic disease
- Chronic rhinosinusitis
- Sarcoidosis
Additional work covers immune checkpoint inhibitor-related colitis, vasculitis, myasthenia gravis, and multiple sclerosis, with a focus on immune-mediated disease control and symptom reduction.
Neurology, Nephrology, and Metabolic Disease
Research spans Alzheimer’s disease, migraine, stroke, multiple sclerosis, cognitive impairment, IgA nephropathy, chronic kidney disease, end-stage kidney disease, osteoporosis, and obesity.
- Neurodegenerative disease
- Headache disorders
- Kidney disease
- Bone metabolism disorders
- Metabolic disease
Clinical interests also include diabetes mellitus, hypertension, adynamic bone disorder, and geographic atrophy, showing engagement with chronic disease areas that intersect with long-term organ protection and functional preservation.
