Vascular Surgery Integrated Resident
Massachusetts General Hospital
Boston, Massachusetts
My initial scientific inquiry skills as an undergraduate student were expanded while working with Dr. Robert Star at the NIDDK as a NIH summer student. I earned coauthor on several resulting publications, one of which as a second author describing the development and validation of a furosemide excretion stress test. My training continued under Dr. Jeffery Gildersleeve at the NCI as an NIH Postbaccalaureate Fellow, where I created, tested, and patented a monoclonal antibody against a novel carbohydrate antigen found in cancer cells. In medical school, I transitioned my focus to cardiovascular science research under the mentorship of Dr. Robert Bartlett for basic science research on extracorporeal circuits and vascular surgeon Dr. Matthew Corriere for clinical outcomes research. I led ideas from conception to completion with multiple first author publications and received research awards from both the Vascular Surgery Department and the Dean’s award of my graduating class. My most formative research experience was with Dr. Daniel Rader and Dr. Scott Damrauer a Sarnoff Cardiovascular Research Fellow, where I applied my scientific writing and planning skills to large genetic databases. I learned to code in R, python, and Unix alongside a PhD student to develop and co-first author a multi-trait genome wide association pipeline for atherosclerotic disease. To grow my understanding of genetics during my vascular surgery residency, I am currently working under Dr. Pradeep Natarajan at the Broad institute for my F32 award period.
