What I Do

I am a PGY-1 Internal Medicine Resident at The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, NY. I recently graduated with a MD/PhD from the Icahn School of Medicine. I completed my doctoral research in the Bin Zhang Lab at the Mount Sinai Center for Transformative Disease Modeling.

My research interests are in improving our understanding of systems biology through multi-omic models. These are complex interaction networks that measure how DNA (genomics), RNA (transcriptomics), and proteins (proteomics) interact in the human body. Using statistical methods, large computers, and novel computational techniques, we are able to identify subtle differences between health and disease in these networks to discover new therapies to treat them. My research interests span many domains including Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, and digestive health. My eventual goal is to leverage personalized multi-omic models to bring precision medicine from the benchtop to the home for everyone.

What matters to me

In my free time, I like to come up with new ideas to solve existing challenges, and translate them into new inventions, patents, and real-world products.

I think it's important to tackle problems from new angles of attack, and to maneuver your company so that your solutions can gain lift. I have helped many companies achieve their investment goals including 4C Medical, Atia Health, and Demeter so they can get off the runway. Currently, I'm interested in finding and investing in new opportunities in the medical and informatics space, even at the pre-seed/angel stage.

I also have many hobbies and like to ride bikes around the city, mess with electronics, and spend time with close friends and family. I also fly with the recently-formed Sinai Aerospace Medicine Club.
