Research Summary
My current research projects aim to 1) optimize identification and management of patients with hereditary gastric cancer and 2) improve understanding of retrograde cricopharyngeus dysfunction (R-CPD), a newly described condition characterized by the inability to belch. Other areas of interest include eosinophilic esophagitis, H. pylori, ergonomics, and medical education.
