Clinical Interests:

I enjoy teaching medical students, residents, and GI fellows and recently received Brown University's Teaching Recognition Award. My areas of interest within Gastroenterology include interventional endoscopy/acute GI bleeding, hepatitis/liver disease, celiac sprue,pancreatic cancer, colon cancer screening and especially Inflammatory Bowel Disease.  My group is involved with several clinical trials with cytokine based therapies for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

I am on the Chapter Medical Advisory Committee (CMAC) of the New England Chapter of Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America and the American College of Gastroenterology's Practice Management Committee. Currently, I have the honor of serving as the CMAC Chair for the NE CCFA chapter and also as the Governor for RI for the American College of Gastroenterology.
