I am a Pulmonary and Critical Care Physician-Scientist. My clinical and research specialties are in Cystic Fibrosis lung infection and inflammation. I am the Principal Investigator of a basic science laboratory, and I serve as the Associate Program director of the UCSF Adult Cystic Fibrosis Center. I attend regularly in the ICUs at Parnassus and Mount Zion and am passionate about improving medical education particularly during COVID when our learners have faced unforeseen challenges.
