I am an adult and pediatric rheumatologist with clinical and research interests in the areas of lupus and transition to adult care. My time is split between the departments of Medicine and Pediatrics. In addition to seeing patients in both environments, I am starting a dedicated Young Adult Rheumatology Clinic, which will serve clinical, educational, and research missions.

Current Research Interests

My primary areas of research interest include:

Systemic lupus erythematosus - mechanistic (B cell biology), translational (personalized medicine), and outcomes
Lupus nephritis - outcomes
Pediatric rheumatic disease - outcomes
Macrophage activation syndrome - outcomes
Patient physician communication - PROs and medical education research
Transition to adult care - educational interventions
Medication adherence - PROs and behavioral economics
