Assistant Professor
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Chapel Hill, North Carolina
I am a psychiatrist and clinical researcher with advanced training in psycho-oncology and a career focus to improve cognitive outcomes in patients with cancer. My research has rigorously evaluated objectively measured and patient-reported outcomes of cognition, enhanced understanding of how psychosocial and biological variables impact cognition, and provided insights into successful strategies for testing pharmacological interventions to prevent or treat cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI). I have devoted a second line of research to delirium and was the Co-PI of a randomized controlled trial of high dose intravenous thiamine for prevention of delirium during hospitalization for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). As an early career clinical investigator, my research has also examined several other areas of psycho-oncology aiming to improve the lives of patients with cancer including projects related to mood and anxiety symptoms in patients with breast cancer.
I do not have any relevant financial / non-financial relationships with any proprietary interests.
