Research Interests
The majority of my research involves collaborative projects with investigators of the Clinical Research Division. These projects include the design and analysis of Phase I, II, and III clinical trials, which aim to expand and improve our ability to treat patients with a wide range of diseases and prognoses. In addition, I carry out a variety of retrospective analyses that make use of the large volume of data generated from past transplants. These studies help to generate hypotheses for future prospective studies, as well as allow us to monitor progress made in the field.
Additional interests include studies of the health effects of microchimerism with J. Lee Nelson's lab, where microchimerism refers to small numbers of cells that traffic from a mother into the fetus and from the fetus into the mother during pregnancy and which may persist in their respective hosts decades later. I am a collaborator in studies related to autoimmune diseases, cancer and pregnancy outcomes. Memberships
