Research Interests: As individuals with sickle cell disease (SCD) are living longer, there is a growing adult population with unique manifestations of SCD that are poorly understand. My research interests are broadly in understanding clinical outcomes in SCD management, characterizing individuals at greater risk for complications and in improving guideline-based care of those with SCD, especially in the diagnosis and management of iron overload.
I am joining the non-malignant hematology faculty at UNC and am interested in pursing research in non-malignant hematology. As a member of the BRC, I will have the support and opportunity to continue my research pursuits.
