I am an Infectious Diseases physician specializing in the care of patients with compromised immune systems. I am interested in how intestinal microbiome-host interactions impact infectious complications and other outcomes in patients with hematologic malignancies. I am also investigating the role of non-canonical resistance mechanisms such as tolerance and heteroresistance on infectious outcomes in patients with chronic colonization or infection. My goal is to develop microbiome-targeted therapies for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases in these and other immunocompromised patient populations.
