I am a resident physician-scientist in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation program at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and also a post-doctoral fellow in the lab of Dr. Robert Gereau in Washington University Pain Center. The broad focus of my research is the neurobiology of pain, with specific interests in early-onset idiopathic neuropathies and chronic musculoskeletal pain. My overall scientific approach is to combine careful clinical observation, patient biospecimens and cutting-edge research techniques like single cell genomics and spatial transcriptomics to better understand pathological pain, with the ultimate aim of improving and advancing patient care.
