About
I graduated with a B.S. in Applied Mathematics-Biology from Brown University in 1995. I was a Fulbright Scholar in Israel from 1995-1996. I completed my M.D. from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 2001. I was a Research Fellow of the Four Schools Physician Scientist Program in Internal Medicine from 1999-2000 where I received my initial exposure to research in clinical gastroenterology. I was an intern and resident in internal medicine at Johns Hopkins Hospital from 2001-2004. I worked as a hospitalist with Kaiser Permanente as well as a teaching attending on the internal medicine service at MedStar Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore, MD from 2004-2005. I completed a gastroenterology fellowship from Brigham and Women's Hospital and an M.S. in Epidemiology from Harvard School of Public Health in 2008. I completed a 2 year advanced endoscopy fellowship at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 2010 with a focus on pancreaticobiliary endoscopy. I am currently a Professor of Medicine in the Division of Gastroenterology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. I am the Director of Pancreatology, overseeing our Pancreatitis Center and the Total Pancreatectomy with Islet Autotransplantation Program. I am also the Director of Endoscopy at Johns Hopkins Hospital. My areas of research include severity in acute pancreatitis, diagnosis of early chronic pancreatitis, and evaluation and treatment of chronic abdominal pain.
