Title: Clinical and Pathophysiologic Approach to Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis

Brief Bio: I am an Assistant Clinical Investigator at NIAID within the Laboratory of Immunoregulation and Chief of the HLH and related Hyperinflammatory Syndromes Branch. I completed my medical school and internal medicine residency at the University of Pittsburgh before going to the NIH for fellowship. My lab is focused on clinical-translational research on the immunopathogenesis of HLH from different etiologic triggers. Our goal is to identify overlapping mechanisms of disease and prognostic factors that can be used to select targeted immune therapies.
