Unique Vantage Point

“As a clinician-scientist, I am able to see disease from more than one angle. My PhD training in biochemistry and molecular biology allows me to understand disease processes at the molecular level. I believe this is a unique vantage point that provides a more complete picture of the patient’s condition and is beneficial for their care.”
