Research Interests
I am a rheumatologist and clinical immunologist with 19 years of experience post MD. My research focuses on inflammatory and immune-related adverse events (irAEs) following cancer immunotherapy. I have created an exceptional niche studying the clinical outcome of patients with various types of irAEs, the use immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in special cancer population (patients with underlying autoimmune diseases or infections and transplant recipients), and the use of different biological therapies for management of irAEs. In addition, using a multi-disciplinary team science approach, I conducted comprehensive clinical, preclinical, and translational analyses focus on identifying the genetic determinants of irAEs and the role of various cytokines in ICI-related autoimmunity and tumor immunity.
