Biography

Introduction

I am a neuropathologist with a particular interest in pediatric and fetal neuropathology. I graduated from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in 2008. I completed two years of general surgery residency at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston before doing a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School. I then did a residency in anatomic pathology at Beth Israel before moving to Mount Sinai to do my neuropathology fellowship.
