My first exposure to molecular biology came during my senior year of high school at the Cuyahoga Community College in a biotechnology course. I was fascinated by microarray technology and started dreaming up experiments that I would want to do in the realm of cancer biology. I was drawn to cancer biology after losing multiple family members to cancer, and seeing not only the toll on their health, but the impact on our family while processing their illness and passing.
My first exposure to research outside of the classroom, came at a startup pharmaceutical company called Buckeye Pharmaceutical, where I worked as a laboratory assistant during the Summers of my undergraduate degree at the University of Rochester — where I studied molecular genetics. I helped to investigate potential therapeutic applications for alternating-current interdigitated electrodes. I also learned about various thermochemical techniques for studying the properties of pharmaceuticals.
I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to develop novel techniques and analyses and expanded my abilities for working independently in a lab setting. I also came to realize that, while I loved research, I needed more of a human and interactive component to my career.
After a year and half of studying the role of an adhesion g protein-coupled receptor GPR56 in the progression of melanoma in the lab of Dr. Lei Xu, PhD, and shadowing a pediatric oncologist and a radiation oncologist, I had a strong sense that combining the two endeavors of research and medicine would be an ideal career path for me.
I wound up staying at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry to pursue this path. During my graduate training I worked under the mentorship of Dr. Aram Hezel, MD, an oncologist and cancer researcher whose lab focuses on the pancreatic cancer and cholangiocarcinoma. This work has sparked my interest in the interplay between chromatin biology, developmental biology, and process of transformation and progression in cancer.
This reaffirmed my desire to combine the two endeavors into the future. During my fourth year of medical school, I finally found that clarity after during an elective on the bone marrow transplant service.
I took care of a gentleman receiving CAR-T cell therapy. This overlap between oncology, immunology, and applied genetics floored me, as I could watch in real time as his cancerous lymph node became matted with cytotoxic T-cells and other effectors leading to, last I checked, a durable remission of his otherwise recalcitrant lymphoma. I continue to have a strong interest in cancer and chromatin biology, and gene regulation.
In the lab, I hope to continue to explore the inter-relationship of these processes and potentially find important nodes of regulation that might be leveraged for future treatment. Clinically, I am interested in applying what is known in the realm of cancer biology to try to create individualized therapies for patients who have failed conventional therapy.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my cats and friends, rock climbing, fermenting foods, and exploring nature. My primary research focus was development of nanoparticle based targeted drug delivery and imaging probes for tumors over-expressing epidermal growth factor receptors EGFR. As part of my doctoral thesis, I developed nanoparticles that can target EGFR and showed high uptake and chemotherapeutic drug delivery in tumors over-expressing these receptors through an actin dependent micropinocytosis like process.
Furthermore, while at Stony Brook I have also helped develop a nanoparticle-based MRI contrast agent for targeted imaging of solid tumors. While finishing my doctoral thesis work at Stony Brook, I was presented the opportunity to work in the Translation Molecular Imaging Lab at Stanford University to develop an ultrasound imaging guided protocol for safe and effective delivery of biodegradable nanoparticles into Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
As part of this project, I developed a nanoparticle-based miRNA delivery platform that can be guided using ultrasound imaging into HCC. I successfully tested the platform in both large and small animal models.
As part of the Stanford Molecular Imaging Scholarship, I was given the opportunity to shadow and work with several physicians including several hematologists and oncologists. It was at this time that I realized my passion for medicine and decided to transition to medical school.
I was accepted to Ohio University and continued my medical education on their Dublin Columbus Campus. While in medical school, I did two hematology clerkships which I found highly interesting and decided to explore the field further.
My research while in medical school was mainly focused on developing a bone marrow microenvironment mimicking biodegradable scaffold that can be used to study different hematological malignancies.
As I continue my journey through residency, I am continuing to experience the wonderful learning environment that OSU fosters. I was born in the United Kingdom and raised in Amherst, Massachusetts. My first research experience came as an undergraduate at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in the lab of Dr. Lawrence Schwartz studying Programmed Cell Death of the ptilinal muscles in the Tobacco Hawkmoth during pupal development. While using a moth as a model system was unique, I began to dabble in breast cancer research as I elucidated the role of the same process in promoting chemoresistance in Triple Negative Breast Cancers.
My experience in the Schwartz lab showed me the personal importance of intellectual curiosity, translational research and how findings in simple model systems can be applied to complex diseases such as cancer. This experience gave me a glimpse of the potential life of a physician-scientist. I spent half my time on the oncology wards and clinics seeing patients with various malignancies and the other half of my time working on research projects.
This experience allowed me to interact with patients with incurable cancer and see the integral role research plays in improving the treatment of these patients and their quality of life. This experience inspired me to ultimately purse a career as a Physician-Scientist. My dissertation involved conducting a CRISPR based screen to identify therapeutic targets in Hepatocellular Carcinoma and then mechanistically validating those targets.
Ultimately, TRRAP knockdown resulted in macrophage mediated clearance of tumor cells in vivo and thus promoting tumor regression in-vivo. Participating in these projects exposed me to the world of experimental therapeutics in cancer research for the first time. Under both Dr. Xue and Dr. When I returned to medical school for my clinical years I quickly gravitated to Internal Medicine and Oncology as my career choice.
While applying for residency programs I was looking for a program that could help me develop into a well-rounded internist comfortable with medical management of acute and chronic conditions, as well as allow me to see rare, exotic case presentations while also promoting research. During my interview at OSU I quickly realized that OSU not only embodied this ideology in their training but the mentors at OSU and at the James were extremely approachable and willing to train mentees.
It was there that a village elder told me about a scientist he knew who devoted his entire life to understand the function of cells. Aharon Freud for two years. In Dr. For these projects, I mastered multi-parametric flow cytometry and cell sorting techniques which I used to characterize NK cell maturation patterns and quantify KIR and NKp80 acquisition. Our work was published on Cell Report and Immunity in All these experiences allowed me to master critical laboratory techniques in cellular and molecular biology as well as cellular immunology.
While I found this experience in basic immunology and pathology to be exciting and rewarding, I quickly realized that my true passion involves preclinical and clinical development of novel treatment strategies for hematologic malignancies and decided to continue my research effort in a translational laboratory where I could focus on the identification of novel therapeutic targets and drug development for aggressive B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
This novel pathway is regulated by TBL1 interaction with the SCF complex a complex which controls the stability of many critical cellular proteins.
PLK1 is key regulator of c-Myc stability. My current research line is extremely valuable, and has important clinical implications as it provides the scientific rationale and framework to translate into clinic tegavivint especial in aggressive NHL in general and Myc-driven subsets in particular.
My long-term career goal is to become a well-trained hematologist and to eventually lead a translational research laboratory as an independent investigator in the field of hematological malignancies aiming to dissect their molecular mechanisms with the final goal of finding novel therapeutic approaches and lead innovative clinical trials.
I strongly believe that the Physician Scientist Training Program at the Ohio State University is the right place where I would be supported by a great mentorship team and be provided with the right exposure to research and clinical hematology to continue developing the required skills to become an excellent physician scientist.
I was born and raised in Zoar, OH. Early illnesses in the family sparked an interest in both the how and why of diseases and, in particular, microbiology. Following high school, I enrolled at the Ohio State University with a major in microbiology.
With a naive interest in the field and a want to explore the true work of microbiology, I applied for a wide range of lab positions. I was fortunate to land in the laboratory of Dan Wozniak. My work in the lab focused on a key phenotypic shift during the transition from acute to chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in Cystic Fibrosis patients.
This work lead to a multitude of undergraduate presentations and a co-authorship. More importantly it opened my eyes to the possibility of research for my long term career.
After having entered undergraduate with a vague thought of medical school, I found myself now gravitating towards both medicine and science. During my early years in medical school, I remained interested in infectious diseases but found myself more and more interested in oncology. Again, I was fortunate to find a fantastic mentor who could span both subjects; Blossom Damania.
In particular, we explored the effect of KSHV on immune checkpoint regulation. Upon finishing my graduate work and returning to medical school, my interest clinically ranged widely but my niche was clearly internal medicine. As I transitioned to residency, Ohio State quickly differentiated itself as a special place to train.
It offered both outstanding clinical training and clear research support in a highly collaborative environment. The resources, infrastructure, cutting edge work, and, most importantly, the people here set OSU apart. The Physician Scientist Training Program has been exceptionally welcoming and supportive of finding the right fit for my long term goals. Finally, Columbus is a lovely place to call home with a great food scene, lots of breweries, beautiful parks, and a very affordable cost of living.
My research interests remain in oncogenic viruses. Specifically in the epigenetic regulation of viral oncogenesis, virus-host immune interactions, and exploration of further malignant treatment modalities. I aim to continue working on KSHV and its associated malignancies but remain excited to branch out as the opportunities arise.
In my free time I enjoy brewing beer, cooking new recipes, and spending time with my wife and dogs. I was born in New Delhi, India but was only two years old when my family moved abroad. After spending seven years in Papua New Guinea and a few months in Darwin, Australia, we immigrated to the United States and finally settled in the suburbs of Chicago in As a microbiology major, I joined Dr.
Under Dr. These formative experiences led to two summer research internships- one at a pharmaceutical company in Beaverton, Oregon, and another at Loyola University in Chicago. During both internships, I had the opportunity to explore how bacterial and viral pathogens circumvent the innate immune response, further solidifying a primary research interest in the host-microbial interface. I had the privilege of doing my graduate research in Dr. Specifically, I focused on mechanisms of innate immune evasion by P.
I was fortunate that this work resulted in a pre-doctoral TL1 fellowship from the Center for Clinical and Translational Sciences, multiple presentations at national and internal conferences, as well as publications.
Most importantly, given the genuine support of all my mentors and the extraordinary research and clinical training I had received at OSU, I decided to stay here for my internal medicine residency. The innovative vision of the program leadership, well-conceived but flexible pathways of research integration with clinical training, and the chance to seek ongoing guidance from a personalized research committee were some of the key features that drew me to our PSTP. Furthermore, as OSU continues to grow, opportunities for trainees in all sectors of clinical and research interests are truly limitless.
