Assistant Professor and an Infectious Diseases physician at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. My research focus is on elucidating mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance and pathogenesis in extensively drug-resistant (XDR) bacteria. Currently, I am studying genomic epidemiology of Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in the United States, with a special focus on antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes. My goal is to translate this knowledge to new diagnostics and treatment development to improve clinical outcomes in these difficult-to-treat infections.

I do not have any relevant financial / non-financial relationships with any proprietary interests.
