Research

I am a practicing gastroenterologist and a cancer health outcomes researcher. I am a physician scientist and a Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology at Columbia University and co-leader of the Prevention, Control, and Disparities Program for the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center at Columbia. Since 2010, I have served on the NCI’s Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network (CISNET) steering committee. Many of our modeling analyses have made significant contributions to inform clinical and public policy guidelines. I have experience in simulation modeling related to gastrointestinal cancers and also in many other areas such as outcomes and cost-effectiveness analyses that help test clinical management strategies in celiac disease. The overarching goal of my research as a physician-scientist is to improve clinical care for patients with cancer and to improve cancer control on a population level. I propose to achieve this goal by performing analyses that leverage the diverse health outcomes methods and techniques that my research team and I have gained expertise in.
