I am a pediatrician and researcher at the University of Rochester. My overall research goal is to improve the delivery of preventive care to underserved children by conducting translational research studies designed to bring effective therapies to the children who need them. While most of my research has focused on improving care for childhood asthma, my training and experience in health services research spans multiple areas, and has included work in child development, autism, foster care, obesity, access to care, and children with special needs and chronic illness. I have extensive experience in primary data collection research and intervention trials. I have led or participated in 8 randomized clinical trials involving health services research, as well as multiple other studies (case-control studies, qualitative studies, secondary database analyses, surveillance work). My studies have included collaborations and recruitment in the community, schools, and primary care offices. In addition, I spend a substantial amount of my time providing mentorship to individuals at all levels of training, including undergraduate students, graduate and medical students, fellows,and junior faculty.
