Biography

I am an Assistant Professor of Surgery, Division of Vascular Surgery, and the Medical Director of the Lower Extremity Wound Clinic. My professional goal is to improve wound healing and reduce the rate of lower extremity amputation caused from non-healing diabetic foot ulcers. To achieve this goal, my focus is to become an independent surgeon-scientist focused on studying the mechanisms of impaired wound healing in patients with diabetes. To identify clinically relevant questions to answer, I plan to execute translational research by maintaining a clinical practice (50% effort) focus on patients with non-healing diabetic foot ulcers and research (50% effort) focused on the development and application of innovative experimental approaches to improving the treatment of non-healing diabetic foot ulcers.

My training as a vascular surgeon and molecular biologist has uniquely positioned me as an ideal candidate to identify key problems and limitations of current diabetic foot ulcer treatments and investigate the molecular mechanisms that prevent wound healing in diabetes. I have a solid track record in research design and execution. I have received independent NIH training grants, developed novel research animal models, and produced first authored publications in both basic science and clinical research.
