He is currently the medical director of the INITIO Nuclear Medicine clinic in Vancouver and a Clinical Assistant Professor on the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia. His research interests include metabolic imaging of brain function in psychiatric disorders and traumatic brain injury, and psychotherapy outcomes in medically unexplained symptoms.
