Overview


I am a pulmonologist and clinical researcher with a focus on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), other interstitial lung diseases (ILD) and lung transplantation. I am particularly interested in using observational data to investigate treatment patterns and associated outcomes in ILD, and in the use of administrative- and electronic health record data to address clinical and epidemiological questions in these disease areas.
