Research

Loma Linda University Department of Dermatology, Loma Linda, CA 2009-2010


  • Devised protocol for investigation of 5% imiquimod cream to treat hypertrophic, hyperkeratotic actinic keratosis of head, neck and scalp.
  • Devised protocol utilizing Mohs surgery to assess for discontiguous treatment of basal cell carcinoma using 5% imiquimod cream.
  • Investigated long-term use of 3% diclofenac gel to treat actinic cheilitis and actinic keratoses of the head and neck, published as a roundtable discussion: The long-term management of actinic keratoses: treatment options and their implications. Journal of Aesthetic and Clinical Dermatology. Feb 2009;S2:1-14.
  • Participated in multi-center national trial investigating use of confocal microscopy for the detection of atypical nevi and melanoma.
  • Participated in development of protocol investigating use of pulsed-dye laser for the treatment of actinic keratoses.

UTMB Department of Gastroenterology, Galveston, TX, 2001-2002


  • Examined the effects of injected botulinum toxin A on gastric smooth muscle motility in rats.
  • Performed laparatomies, tissue dissection, electric field experiments, and pharmacological manipulation of the enteric nervous system of pyloric tissue. Findings support that the effect of botulinum toxin mitigated non-cholinergic transmitters (substance P, vasoactive intestinal peptide, nitric oxide) as well as possible myopathic effect.

Texas Department of Health, Austin, TX, 1999-2001


  • Carried out PKU pilot project, analyzing effects of medical foods deficient in phenylalanine on growth in children with PKU.

United States Department of Agriculture, Greenbelt, MD, 1996-1996


  • Carried out hormone research to find biological control mechanism for gypsy moth overpopulation in Maryland. Performed radioimmunoassays, HPLC, and protein assays.
