Assistant Professor, Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine

Biography

I am an Assistant Professor at Boston University School of Medicine. My primary interest is in the relationship between undernutrition & TB which I explore through epidemiological studies in India, Benin, and Togo. I couple these epidemiological studies with health economic modeling to inform policy. I learn from my brilliant collaborators in the US and abroad as we work together to ensure that action on social determinants, particularly undernutrition is a key component of global TB elimination efforts. Clinically, I have the privilege of working with the amazing house staff of Boston Medical Center on inpatient Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases services. I am also passionate about my work in the BMC/BPHC TB clinic which serves key and vulnerable populations from around the world.

The modicum of success I have enjoyed in academic medicine is a product of guidance and support from a village of generous mentors. Now, I try to pay their kindness forward. I feel very privileged when a brilliant young trainee entrusts their growth as a physician or researcher to me.
