🎯 Research Focus
Systematic Reviews • Clinical Outcomes • Transplant Surgery
From computational genomics at Geisinger’s DiscovEHR to clinical research at Cedars-Sinai’s Liver Transplant program, my work bridges data science and surgical innovation. Currently applying systematic review methodology and outcomes research to advance evidence-based surgical practice.
Key Areas:
- Transplant surgery outcomes and quality improvement
- Systematic reviews and meta-analyses in surgery
- Genomic medicine applications (92,297 patient cohort analysis)
- COVID-19 predictive modeling and triage algorithms
