Profile

My research interests include:

1. The role of the social determinants of health factors on the effectiveness of prescribed medications: He is interested in how the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age influence the safety and effectiveness of prescribed medication use in the community settings.
2. Medication outcomes among racial/ethnic minorities: Through population-based observational studies, he tries to measure differences in the utilization, safety and effectiveness of prescribed medications between racial groups, as racial/ethnic minority groups tend to be under-represented in clinical trials of drugs.
3. Drug-drug interactions: The simultaneous use of multiple medications is growing increasingly common. He investigates whether it is safe to simultaneously use certain medications or not.
