Research Experience:
07/2021 – 07/2021
St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center, Hartford, CT, United States of America Co-investigator, Liquid Biopsies in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Dr. James Vredenburgh
This retrospective IRB study aims to identify driver mutations and potentially treatable resistance alterations by molecular profiling using liquid biopsies in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
05/2021 – 07/2021
University of Connecticut Internal Medicine, Farmington, CT, United States of America Creator/Host – UCONN IM Residency Podcast, Dr. Robert Nardino
-To increase the availability of academic activities, I created a podcast called “UCONN IM Residency” to produce easily accessible didactics for our residents.
-Our podcast is available on major platforms such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts. Content is updated at least once a week. We base our topics on the academic activities of the week.
-We plan to develop a QI project to assess if the use of podcasts in our program increases the interest and satisfaction with educational activities in our program.
06/2020 – 07/2021
St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center, Hartford, CT, United States of America
Co-investigator, Analysis of the Management of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia at a Tertiary Center, Dr. Sudhanshu Mulay
We started this retrospective IRB study to assess the use of 4T scores in the diagnosis for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). -The goal is to identify patients who were tested for HIT by using anti-platelet factor 4 (anti-PF4) or serotonin release assay tests. -Subsequently, we will analyze the 4T scores and determine if testing was done according to guideline recommendations.
05/2020 – 07/2021
Yale New-Haven Cancer Center St. Francis Hospital, Hartford, CT, United States of America Co-investigator, Aromatase Inhibitors in Endometrial Cancer, Dr. James Vredenburgh
-We started this retrospective IRB study to look at the role of aromatase inhibitors in endometrial cancer.
-Our goal is to identify the differences in progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer who received aromatase inhibitors compared to patients who did not.
05/2020 – 08/2020
University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington, CT, United States of America
Co-investigator, COVID-19 Patient Database, Dr. Susan Tannenbaum
-The goal of this public health research project was to develop a database of patients admitted with COVID-19 infection to John Dempsey Hospital (UCONN Health Center) to improve their diagnosis and treatment.
-The database could serve as a source for future research conducted on COVID-19 at UCONN Health.
