I was recently appointed as an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. My research focuses on the molecular evolution of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1). Check out my CV or my doctoral dissertation if you'd like more detailed info on my background and experience.
