Research Overview
Data & Insights
Has run more than one trial at 9 of 9 partner sites.
Specializations
Neuroimmunology and Headache Disorders
Clinical work in the Department of Neurology includes multiple sclerosis and refractory headache conditions, with interest in both disease control and symptom prevention.
- Multiple sclerosis
- Chronic migraine
- Cluster headache
Therapeutic activity in this area also includes preventive strategies for recurrent headache burden and treatment optimization in inflammatory neurological disease.
Cerebrovascular Disease and Thrombosis Prevention
Research involvement extends to acute and preventive management of stroke, transient ischemic attack, and atrial fibrillation-related embolic risk, with a focus on antithrombotic care.
- Ischemic stroke prevention
- Atrial fibrillation
- Acute myocardial infarction
Interest also covers cardiovascular event reduction in patients with elevated vascular risk and recurrent thromboembolic disease.
Inflammatory and Autoimmune Gastrointestinal Disease
The investigator is active in trials addressing chronic immune-mediated disorders of the gut, including conditions marked by persistent inflammation and impaired mucosal function.
- Crohn’s disease
- Celiac disease
- Eosinophilic esophagitis
Therapeutic interest includes biologic and targeted approaches for controlling disease activity and maintaining remission in chronic gastrointestinal inflammation.
Respiratory and Infectious Disease
Clinical research includes obstructive and inflammatory airway disease, as well as infection-related respiratory illness in both adult and pediatric settings.
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Lower respiratory tract infection
- Chronic wet cough in young children
Work in this domain also reflects interest in reducing exacerbations and improving symptom resolution in respiratory disorders.
Oncology, Hematology, and Rare Disease
Trial involvement spans solid tumors, plasma cell disorders, and selected rare conditions, with attention to precision-directed and immune-based therapies.
- Breast cancer
- Multiple myeloma
- Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy
Additional interests include acute myeloid leukemia, prostate cancer, and other advanced malignancies requiring targeted treatment strategies.
