<p>Despite tremendous progress, exact mechanism of hospital transmission of infections remans uncertain. My research interest lies in understanding mechanism of transmisison of <em>Clostridioides difficile</em> in acute care setting. Specifically, I would like to understand spatio-temporal factors involved in <em>Clostridioides difficile</em> acquisition and transmission, and apply process improvement methodology to limit HAI trasnmission. I am also interested in leveraging EMR data and healthcare informatics tools to improve early recognition and management of sepsis. </p>
<p>My clinical infectious diseases interest lies is preventing, treating and managing infections with patients with immune-mediated inflammatory disease (IMID), including patients with primary and secondary immunedeficiencies as well as drug induced immune dysregulation. </p>
