Research

I am an Associate Professor of Medicine at the Division of Digestive Diseases at Columbia University Medical Center. I received my degree in Medicine from the State University of New York, followed by a residency program in New England Medical Center Boston and Fellowships in Medical College of Virginia and the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. I specialize in digestive & liver disorders, gastroenterology and cancer. I am interested in the endoscopic treatment of pancreaticobiliary diseases, benign and malignant, through the use of new devices and novel applications of existing methods. Furthermore, we currently have a clinical trial in progress on peroral cholangioscopy (POCS) in liver transplantation patients.
