Dr. Permaul Returns to Research
A Message from Dr. Permaul
At certain points in our lives, we all approach crossroads that steer us one way or another, and the best choice is usually to follow your heart. In that respect, I’ve decided to return to one of my first interests: allergy research.
In practicing medicine over the past year at Two River Allergy & Asthma Group, I’ve grown to love the patients and staff here. However, I miss the clinical research activities I was involved in during my training. My passion is to be the person actually conducting cutting-edge allergy and asthma research, rather than the person reading about it in a journal.
After much thought, I’ve decided to return to Boston to pursue clinical research at Massachusetts General Hospital, a Harvard-affiliated teaching hospital. While I will miss everyone here, I’m excited for this new chapter in my life. And of course, you’re in excellent hands with Dr. Picone, who has been practicing for 35 years and is also Harvard trained.
I’m very grateful for my experience here, the friendships I’ve made, and the relationships I’ve built. I wish you all the best!
