Welcome to my web home! I am currently a resident physician in internal medicine and a member of the Stanbury physician-scientist program at Massachusetts General Hospital. I earned my MD in the Program in Health Sciences and Technology at Harvard/MIT and my PhD in immunology at Harvard under the supervision of Diane Mathis. In my thesis work, I studied the mechanisms that produce immunological self-tolerance in T cells, and how breakdown of these mechanisms can lead to autoimmunity. You can read about that work here, here and here. Previously, I worked with David Schatz at Yale, studying the molecular mechanisms that B cells use to generate high-affinity antibodies. Broadly speaking, I am interested in adaptive immunity, self-tolerance and its dysregulation in immune-mediated diseases.
