I was the Chief, Clinical Pathology at NY Methodist Hospital in Park Slope, Brooklyn for 5 years, where I also enjoyed working with Midwood High School Science Students, and Brooklyn, CUNY, Touro College students. I was previously Chief of Clinical Chemistry and Chief of Blood Bank at Bridgeport Hospital for 22 years, and recently returned to work as Blood Bank consulting at Norwalk Hospital in Connecticut.
I have done extensive work with nutrition, sepsis, and cardiac markers; Chaired and participated in Ross Roundtables on laboratory role in nutritional management and on nutrition screening and management, as well as a Beckman Roundtable on transthyretin, and coordinated the First International Transthyretin Congress in Strasbourg, Fr with Prof. Yves Ingenbleek of University Louis Pasteur. Was Chairman of the American Association for Clinical Chemistry Nutrition Division and recipient of the Labbe/Garry and Distinguished Service Awards.
In the last two years in retirement I have concentrated on a project with the Yale Program in Applied Mathematics under Emer. Prof. RR Coifman with a young mathematician from Haifa in developing a novel "Anomaly-based" diagnostic algorithm that acts as a second opinion and generates one or more "evidence-based" diagnoses, and assigns probabilities to these inferences. The work has resulted in peer reviewed papers on the basic process interpreting the peripheral blood and sepsis risk, the identification of malnutrition risk, and a book chapter on automated hematology.
I have been on the Board of Directors of NAACLS and the American Library Association Commission on Accreditation, have been listed in America’s Top Physicians, Marquis Who’s Who in Science and Engineering and Marquis’ Who’s Who in Medicine. I have 3 patents and a patent pending, 6 book contributions, and 100 peer reviewed papers.
