He entered this role after multiple years of epigenetic research at the University of North Dakota, focusing on histone modifications and DNA methylation patterns in inflammatory genes in mammalian tissue post-infection by viral and bacterial pathogens. He came to Mayo Clinic during a gap period, after which he intends to pursue an MD-PhD degree. His primary focus was to try and understand the intricacies of HLA due to its complex genetics and clinical significance.
