    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    I’m a Physician Assistant (PA) and Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. I began my career as a research immunologist studying the pathophysiology of autoimmune disorders and infections. I left the laboratory after many years to pursue a clinical career as a PA, treating patients with blood cancers. My research and clinical focus are to reduce the impact that treatment-related complications from chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy or stem cell transplant have on the patient’s experience during their journey for a cure.
