Computational Neuroscience Outcomes Center20 publications
In 2016, under Dr. Timothy R. Smith, I co-founded the Computational Neuroscience Outcomes Center (CNOC) in the Department of Neurosurgery at Brigham and Women's Hospital. The lab builds prospective databases of neurosurgical patients and answers outcomes questions by integrating EHR, radiological, billing/claims, and patient-reported outcome data.

Laboratory of Genital Tract Biology10 publications
In 2010 I joined the Laboratory of Genital Tract Biology under Dr. Raina Fichorova in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology at Brigham and Women's Hospital. The lab advances medical knowledge, prevention, and cure of inflammatory conditions in the female reproductive tract, improving reproductive and sexual health while fighting health disparities.
