Director of the Simulation Department, advancing procedural skills training, curriculum development, and graduate medical education. Secured $183,105 in grant funding, including: $130,000 and $50,000 from the Orris C. Hirtzel and Beatrice Dewey Hirtzel Memorial Foundation (2018, 2020). $3,105 Clinical Educational Support Grant (2019). Achieved high student satisfaction (4.7/5) through innovative simulation-based education.Published articles:- "Learning Abnormal Physical Examination Signs: An Introductory Course" (2023)- "A Rare Presentation of Fulminant Toxic Shock Syndrome" (2022)- "Gabapentin for Persistent Nasal Pruritus" (2019)

Conducted immunological research focused on vaccine development and immune responses to otitis media. Key published peer-reviewed articles:- "Antibody Response to Haemophilus influenzae Outer Membrane Protein D, P6, and OMP26 After Nasopharyngeal Colonization and Acute Otitis Media in Children" (Vaccine, 2010) – 58 citations- "Breast-Feeding Is Associated With a Reduced Frequency of Acute Otitis Media and High Serum Antibody Levels Against NTHi and Outer Membrane Protein Vaccine Antigen Candidate P6" (Pediatric Research, 2009) – 80 citations- "Mouse Models for the Study of Mucosal Vaccination Against Otitis Media" (Vaccine, 2008) – 38 citations- "Intranasal Vaccination of Infant Mice Induces Protective Immunity in the Absence of Nasal-Associated Lymphoid Tissue" (Vaccine, 2008) – 32 citations

Served as a Research Assistant Professor at NYU, specializing in Rhinology and Otolaryngology under the mentorship of Dr. Joseph B. Jacobs, MD, at NYU Langone. Co-authored the peer-reviewed study 'Role of Local Immunoglobulin E Specific for Alternaria alternata in the Pathogenesis of Nasal Polyposis' published in The Laryngoscope (2008).This research advanced the understanding of chronic sinus conditions and the immunological mechanisms underlying nasal polyposis.

Conducted advanced research on mucosal immunity and vaccine development targeting nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi), a major cause of sinusitis and otitis media. Developed animal models to assess vaccine efficacy and immune responses, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to investigate novel therapeutic strategies.Key publications:- "Intranasal Immunization with Outer Membrane Protein P6 and Cholera Toxin Induces Specific Sinus Mucosal Immunity and Enhances Sinus Clearance of NTHi" (Vaccine, 2004).- "Prevention of Otitis Media by Nasal Vaccine—An Animal Study" (International Congress Series, 2003).- "Intranasal Immunization Enhances Clearance of NTHi and Reduces TNF-α Production in Otitis Media" (Infection and Immunity, 2001).

I served as the Head Attending Physician in the ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) department at Republic Clinical Hospital, specializing in Otorhinolaryngology. During this time, I led surgical procedures, managed complex ENT cases, and oversaw patient care. My role also involved mentoring junior physicians and ensuring high standards of clinical practice throughout the department.
