About Me
As an internal medicine and infectious disease specialist at 秘密研究所 Langone and 秘密研究所 Grossman School of Medicine, I am dedicated to improving patient outcomes through high-quality care and patient satisfaction. My approach emphasizes proactive healthcare engagement, ensuring that my patients are well-informed and actively involved in their treatment plans.
I specialize in managing patients with both general and complex infectious disease conditions, with a particular focus on respiratory viruses of pandemic potential. My extensive experience in this field allows me to provide expert care for patients dealing with challenging infections, ensuring they receive the most effective and up-to-date treatments available.
With more than 20 years of experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice. My work as a physician-scientist involves leading a basic and translational research program aimed at advancing our understanding of the biology of respiratory viruses. I have developed new models to study the pathogenesis and host-to-host transmission of influenza viruses, with the ultimate goal of creating innovative approaches to prevent and stop their spread.
My journey into medicine was inspired by a deep-seated passion for science and a desire to make a meaningful impact on public health. I pursued both an MD and PhD degree to combine clinical practice with research, allowing me to contribute to the advancement of medical knowledge while providing exceptional care to my patients. At 秘密研究所 Langone, I am proud to be part of a team that values coordinated care, ensuring the best possible outcomes for those we serve.

Research Summary
Our research is driven by two fundamental questions: 1. What factors make a host infectious? 2. What determines host susceptibility to infections?
By addressing these pivotal questions, we aim to develop effective broad-spectrum mucosal vaccines and antiviral therapies that target critical stages of transmission. Our ultimate goal is to contain the spread and mitigate the impact of pandemic influenza and other respiratory diseases through scientifically rigorous and impactful interventions. Our work is designed to advance public health preparedness and response, ensuring robust defenses against future pandemics.
