About Me

I am the Medical Director at AHF Healthcare Center - Midtown Manhattan. My interest in HIV lies in both the clinical and research settings. My current research interests range from the understanding of complications of ART (induction of metabolic changes differentiated from weight gain and lipodystrophy), NAFLD in the context of modern ART, utilizing PK and drug-class synergism to treat MDR-HIV, and identifying T and B cell dysregulation in HIV. I lectured on HIV throughout the country, published review articles and research in a variety of journals, and have presented on my clinical studies at International AIDS Conferences. I am  board certified in Internal Medicine and is a member of the HIV Medicine Association of the Infectious Disease Society of America.

Fun Fact: I was a childhood guest start on the following TV shows: Romper Room and Zoom.
