Areas of Expertise
My primary clinical and academic focus is the care of patients with multisystem sarcoidosis, with particular expertise in pulmonary and cardiac manifestations of the disease. As Director of the Washington University Sarcoidosis Center of Excellence, I lead a multidisciplinary team dedicated to providing comprehensive, coordinated care for patients with complex sarcoidosis affecting multiple organ systems. Our program is recognized as a WASOG Sarcoidosis Center of Excellence and is a member of the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research Global Sarcoidosis Clinic Alliance, reflecting our commitment to delivering the highest standard of care while collaborating with leading experts around the world. We also participate in international clinical trials, providing eligible patients with access to emerging therapies and advancing the understanding and treatment of sarcoidosis. Recognizing that living with sarcoidosis extends beyond managing the disease itself, our program offers a local sarcoidosis support group that addresses the physical, emotional, and social challenges faced by patients and their families, fostering education, community, and long-term wellness.
I also direct the Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (PAP) Program that provides comprehensive, multidisciplinary care for patients with this rare and complex lung disease. Our team has extensive expertise in the diagnosis, evaluation, and longitudinal management of autoimmune PAP, utilizing advanced diagnostic testing and individualized treatment strategies. As a leading referral center, we offer access to the full spectrum of established and emerging therapies, including whole lung lavage, inhaled GM-CSF therapy, and other evidence-based interventions when appropriate. Through active participation in national and international clinical research, our patients have access to innovative clinical trials evaluating next-generation therapies designed to improve outcomes and quality of life.
