Bio
Currently, I'm a first-year resident physician in internal medicine at NYU Langone Health. I am passionate about lifestyle medicine, health education, and the intersection between medicine, technology and entrepreneurship. I received my MD from SUNY Downstate College of Medicine and completed an MS in Human Nutrition at Columbia University in 2019. I graduated from New York University Leonard N. Stern School of Business in 2018 where I studied Finance and Pre-Medical Studies. Some of my personal interests include running, hiking, traveling, and cooking. I ran the NYC marathon in November and I am also an advanced scuba diver!Project ideas
Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.
Are mindfulness-based interventions effective in the treatment of depression?
Gather a group of people with depression and expose half of the group to a mindfulness-based intervention (ex: daily meditation, use of a meditation app daily, use of a workout plan daily), while the other half of the group serves as a control. Have patients complete a depression scale before, during, and after the interventions. Compare those who were given a mindfulness-based intervention with those who were not.
