Summary
My overarching research interests lie in strategies towards the optimal management of acute pancreatitis and its complications, the most common cause for hospitalization among gastrointestinal diseases. My other main focus has been on exploring modalities for early diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis, a debilitating condition that pose a major detriment to the quality of life of these patients. Other keen interests include pancreatic endo-therapy through endoscopic ultrasound and endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography for management of complex pancreatic and biliary conditions. I have nearly 50 peer reviewed publications and serve at the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy' sTechnology committee.
