I have expertise in innate immunology, pulmonary epithelial and lymphatic biology and post-transcriptional mechanisms of gene expression.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility
Whether in the lab or in the classroom, I am fully committed to fostering and enhancing a training environment here at BUSM that prioritizes diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility. Diverse groups have been shown to be more productive, more innovative and engage with greater levels of critical reasoning; all of which are critical for thriving biomedical research and educational programs. Towards this goal, I have served to increase diversity at all levels of trainees; from postbac, graduate and medical students to faculty recruitment. I have participated in the Postbaccalaureate Research Education Programs (PREP) by helping to prepare students for graduate school interviews. This program helps develop research experiences for students from under-represented groups that strive for a career in research or medicine. In my role in medical school admissions, we embrace a holistic review of applicants that acknowledges strength of character, distance traveled, grit and perseverance. For graduate school admissions and as Director of the Graduate Program in Molecular and Translational Medicine, I serve to enhance the recruitment of under-represented groups through creation of mechanisms such as the Emerging Scholar’s Award which is now supported by multiple Departments throughout the Medical School. The goal of this award is to mitigate expensive relocation to the Boston area. With my involvement with the TL1 Regenerative Medicine Training Program we have enhanced a strong track record of supporting the recruitment and enrollment of under-represented trainees. As participating faculty in the Pulmonary Center, I serve as a member of the DEIA faculty recruitment committee. In all aspects of my professional and personal life, I am firmly dedicated to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility efforts and I actively and reflectively endeavor to continuously improve upon them.
