Research
We are engaged in a series of projects on the intersection of geriatric medicine and palliative medicine. This work focuses on chronic and serious illness, their associated functional and symptom burden, and interventions to improve care for these patients. This work has included studies of the effectiveness of models of innovative care delivery and their dissemination, as well as studies on methods to identify patients who would most likely benefit from these interventions.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
