RESEARCH INTERESTS:

His principle research focuses on developing and piloting clinical trials of innovative interventions that improve patient’s health outcomes and organ allograft utility. Treatment studies involve Hepatitis C, liver transplantation and short bowel syndrome. In addition, ongoing research endeavors emphasize economic performance and optimizing drug utilization as well as liver donation and allocation policy. The outcomes of experimental subjects in my clinical trials range from improved quality of life to sustained viral response, improved economic practice and utilization review. The goal of these studies is to provide a comprehensive multilevel analysis that might influence clinical and economic performance in a positive manner. My NIH research funding includes a grant from the Liver Failure Studies Group.
