Assistant Professor
Washington University
I am a physician-scientist at Wash U, where I completed psychiatry residency on the NIMH R25 research track, joined the faculty as a pharmacoepidemiologist in the TranSTAR NIDA T32 program (June 2022-June 2023), and recently received a NIDA K12 award (beginning July 2023). My research uses administrative claims to test how clinical trial findings generalize to the real world, especially in populations underrepresented in substance use disorders research. I have a particular interest in addiction treatment gaps in pregnancy and the rational deprescribing and prescribing of controlled substances. My work has been published in journals such as the American Journal of Psychiatry, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and multiple JAMA network publications.
