Selected Publications

I have a paper on treatment with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), a class of medications which has been recently shown to greatly benefit patients with a range of cardiovascular and kidney disease. As first author, my role in this project was to design the study under the guidance of my mentors, interpret the data analysis, write and revise the manuscript for publication.
