I am an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and a Principal Investigator within the Mucosal Immunology & Biology Research Center at Massachusetts General Hospital. I manage an independently funded research program focused on understanding cellular and molecular mechanisms that facilitate inflammatory and toxic breach of protective mucosal barriers. A primary area of focus for our team involves investigating how neutrophils migrate across mucosal barriers following infection or in the context of inflammatory disease. I received a Ph.D. in Immunology from Tufts University Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences in Boston, MA.
