Professor of Medicine
Weill Cornell Medicine
New York, New York
I am the Irving Sherwood Wright Professor of Medicine, and since 2009 the Director of Cornell’s NIA-funded Roybal Center (Translational Research Institute of Pain in Later Life). I am a clinical epidemiologist and geriatric medicine physician whose work over the past 2 decades has focused on the epidemiology and treatment of various persistent pain disorders in older adults in a variety of care settings including hospital and community-based settings. This work has involved elucidating risk factors for poor outcomes (e.g., declines in physical performance), evaluating the risks and benefits of current therapies for managing persistent pain in older adults, as well as the development and testing of non-pharmacologic interventions to improve care outcomes. More recently my work has expanded to focus on the role of technology and how it can improve outcomes in patients receiving chronic illness care as well as care at the end of life.
