Assistant Professor @ Translational Research in Genetic Heart Disease Using Human Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSC and genome engineered hESC). My research focuses on using in vitro models of genetic arrhythmia and cardiomyopathies in order to elucidate disease mechanism and test novel therapeutics and future drug development.
Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiologist specializing in the management of heart rhythm disorders using medication, ablation, or device implantation. Special interest include management of patients with genetic heart disease including heritable sudden cardiac death syndromes and dilated cardiomyopathy.
General Cardiology Consult and Inpatient Service managing patients with coronary heart disease, heart failure, and valvular heart disease.
