I am a nephrologist and physician-scientist building a research program dedicated to the translation of human-based discoveries to new biological insights. Merging my clinical interest in kidney disease with my research training at Penn's Cardiovascular Institute, my research focuses on functional interrogation of how novel genes identified through human genetics studies impact phenotypes relevant to cardiometabolic and kidney diseases. My group employs an integrative approach including cellular models derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells with genome-editing technology, animal-based mechanistic studies, and transcriptomic and proteomic discovery.

Outside of work, I love foodie adventures, endurance running, boxing, Peloton workouts, skiing, scuba diving, photography, reading thought-provoking prose, and being a dog mom to two sweet pups with big personalities.
