Assistant Professor of Medicine (Infectious Diseases)

Biography

I have completed my internal medicine residency training at the NYP/Weill-Cornell, New York, and fellowship in Infectious diseases/HIV at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard University, Boston. Prior to that, I did a PhD at the Kirby Institute/University of New South Wales (Australia) in epidemiological studies in HIV/AIDS. Clinically, I'm interested in HIV primary care, cases of HIV with complex resistance history, STIs, COVID-19 therapeutics, and general infectious diseases. In my clinical educator role, I train residents and fellows at Yale in ID and HIV, as well as work with CT DPH and Sylvie Ratelle STD/HIV Prevention Training Center as the educator Faculty. My current research is focused on implementation work in HIV care, STIs and clinical trials in HIV and COVID-19.
