Research
In my current position I am working on heart disease prevention by identifying novel genetic markers of acute coronary syndromes and heart failure risk. I am also expanding my research portfolio towards heart disease therapeutics by exploring the role of cardiovascular medications as adjuncts in regenerative medicine.
