Postdoc
Gastroenterology
Hello! I’m a vascular biologist and gastroenterology fellow excited to do my post-doc in the Crouch lab. My work meets at the intersection of vascular biology and gastroenterology to study the underpinning mechanisms of intestinal arteriovenous malformations (a lesion which presently has no durable treatment or cure). Leveraging single cell, spatial transcriptomic, and organoid techniques, we are pursuing deep evaluation of these lesions.
This builds upon my prior doctoral studies with Dr. Shayn Peirce-Cottler at the University of Virginia, where I investigated endothelial and perivascular cell identity and plasticity to better understand the mechanisms of angiogenesis. I then went to medical school (after PhD) at Columbia University in NYC and completed my residency in Internal Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. Outside of lab, I enjoy attempting to make my favorite restaurant dishes at home, hiking with my family, and watching stand-up comedy.
