Description of Research Project:
I study the role of proinflammatory T cell skewing in systemic lupus erythematosus.

Favorite thing about SUNY Upstate:
My favorite thing about Upstate is the faculty student ratio and that it's a very student-focused institution.

Favorite thing about Syracuse or Central New York:
Syracuse is very quiet compared to NYC, and they say that you can get to anywhere in Syracuse within 20 minutes.

What I do for fun: Posting on my studygram!
