His work spans clinical studies, case reports, and quality‑improvement projects. He has studied diseases such as giant cell arteritis, Cushing’s disease, and late‑onset diffuse xanthomas, as well as broader inflammatory pathways, including how certain genes regulate inflammation and protect against conditions like colitis. Through quality‑improvement initiatives, he has examined how to better communicate medication risks, particularly with JAK inhibitors, to support safer rheumatology care. His ongoing projects also include using natural language processing to detect toxicities from antimalarial medications and contributing to research on hypersensitivity pneumonitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and the relationship between rheumatoid arthritis and heart failure.
