Research Experience

2016-2017

Clinical Fellow, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN

Research Area: Pharmacogenomics of aromatic amine anticonvulsants

- Develop an electronic-phenotype that can be applied to the synthetic derivative and BioVU, Vanderbilt’s electronic biobank for genetic association studies

- Validate cases of adverse drug reactions, primarily Stevens Johnson Syndrome/ Toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) and Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) across various EMRs

- Define the epidemiology and genetics (HLA and CYP primarily) characteristic of European patients with aromatic anticonvulsant severe cutaneous adverse reactions

2014-2015

Pediatric Resident, Jacobi Medical Center, New York, NY

Research Area: Asthma and Allergic Rhinitis

- To elucidate how often resident physicians utilize either physical exam or history findings in diagnosis of allergic rhinitis in patients admitted with acute asthma exacerbations
