Academics and research
In addition, I manage a translational research team dedicated to providing the most innovative technologies and techniques to our patients. My team and I use our academic studies in the lab to directly modify and enhance treatments to ensure our patients receive the most advanced therapies possible.
I have received independent funding through the National Institutes of Health to support my research. My work has been widely published in peer-reviewed journals and I was honored to receive a Research and Education Award from the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST).
My role includes helping to educate the next generation of surgeon–scientists. I am the associate director of The Ohio State University Department of Surgery’s Professional Development and Research Training Program (RTP), which 'prepares surgical trainees through personalized research education, mentorship and career development.' I am also an associate professor of Surgery at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
