I am a Pediatric Gastroenterology Physician-Scientist whose overarching research goal is to come up with targeted therapies for exocrine pancreatic disorders, particularly pancreatitis. I serve as Professor of Pediatrics and Chief of the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology at Stanford University. I came to Stanford to marry science and medicine. Prior to Stanford, I was at the University of Pittsburgh for 8 years, and before that, I was at Yale for 10 years.
