About

Biography

I joined the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition as a fellow in 2000, after completing my pediatric residency training at Cincinnati Children's. Following the completion of my fellowship, I pursued an additional year of training in pediatric hepatology under the mentoring of Dr. William Balistreri and the physicians and surgeons of the Pediatric Liver Care Center, becoming one of the first in my specialty to obtain focused training in this field.

In 2004, I was appointed assistant professor of pediatrics in the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition and the Pediatric Liver Care Center within the UC Department of Pediatrics. My clinical and translational research interests include post-transplant renal dysfunction and genetic modifiers of disease in biliary atresia.
