Research Interests center on pediatric gastroenterology, specifically the technical and clinical outcomes of ERCP, management of autoimmune pancreatitis, and genetic risk factors in pancreatic diseases. He has contributed to clinical guidelines via the INSPPIRE consortium and NASPGHAN.

Recent Publications (2019-2018) highlight his work on diabetes mellitus in pediatric pancreatitis, opioid use in pain management, innovative endoscopic techniques (e.g., over-the-scope clips), and autoimmune pancreatitis diagnosis. His studies often involve multicenter collaborations and clinical registries.

Clinical and Research Impact includes improving ERCP safety in children, developing biospecimen protocols for chronic pancreatitis research, and exploring genetic mutations (PRSS1/CTRC) in early-onset disease.

Professional Involvement spans the INSPPIRE consortium and NASPGHAN, where he co-authored clinical reports on endoscopy units and high-risk pediatric patients.
