Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
I am a faculty member appointed within rheumatology and epidemiology at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA. I am funded by Merit Awards though Veterans Affairs Clinical Science Research & Development and Rehabilitation Research & Development. Through this support I have focused on identifying modifiable risk factors with the goal of improving clinical care of common forms of arthritis, particularly rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritism and gout. Specifically, I aim to conduct observational and interventional studies with a focus on skeletal muscle health, obesity, bone, and joint health, cardiovascular disease, and other long-term outcomes in patients with arthritis.
