MPART: Mentoring and Peer Advice from Recent Trainees was created to make advice from recent MD-PhD graduates from Yale’s program accessible to current students for questions and advice about life after MD-PhD Program training. By identifying recent alumni and Yale residents willing to share their time and stories, MPART will focus on providing peer mentoring to senior students during the final 1-1½ years of their MD-PhD training. MPART members will serve for a period up to 4 years (during their residency years).

Undergraduate: University of Chicago, Chemistry, 2011
Research Interest: I am a clinical fellow in the Section of Infectious Disease and a postdoctoral fellow in Noah Palm’s lab. My wet lab research focus is on understanding the pathophysiology of critical illness and how the microbiome influences sepsis. I am skilled in conducting traditional and gnotobiotic animal experiments, infection modeling, bacterial genomics, flow cytometry and sorting, vaccine development, and gut microbiome analysis, to name a few! In the clinical research world, I am conducting studies which aim to identify risk factors for critical illness development in patients with bacteremia. Feel free to reach out and ask me anything!
Personal Interests/hobbies: Outdoor activities, including kayaking, white water rafting, hiking, biking or just a nice long walk. Taking on new fitness goals regularly. Reading anything history. Staying up late discussing ridiculous ‘what if’ scenarios with equally inquisitive and ridiculous friends.
