Areas of research

While at Duke University School of Medicine, I obtained a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Fellowship award to support my work in the lab of Dr. Saul Schanberg to research the effects of maternal touch on growth-related gene expression in neonatal rats. This research is profoundly meaningful to me as a family physician as this speaks directly to the effect of social interactions especially at an early age and the longterm effects on our health what we now call epigenetics.

While an undergraduate at UNC Chapel Hill, I completed an undergraduate research project on the evidence for expression of two isoforms the A1 hnRNP protein in African frogs.

 

As a primary care physician, my understanding of molecular biology and genetics has provided a solid basis for my ability to understand disease states and their treatments but more importantly it has enriched my ability to care for my patients and understand the impact health behaviors and how the Social Determinants of Health have profound effects on overall wellbeing.
