Clinical Interests

My interest is clinical investigation in areas of renal transplantation. We have published several studies examining bone disease in renal transplant patients. We also studying the safety & efficacy of angiotensin antagonists in renal transplant patient early post transplant. I am always interested in supporting clinical research in transplant patients. I am also interested in studies in medical education for students and fellows, particularly in the area of skill development.
