Oscar J. Abilez
Senior Scientist, Cardiothoracic Surgery - Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Abilez' interests are aimed at elucidating how various biophysical and biochemical perturbations regulate early cardiovascular development across time and length scales that span several orders of magnitude, using human pluripotent stem cells as a model system.

Frank Hanley
Lawrence Crowley, M.D., Endowed Professor of Child Health
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsHis research and clinical work focuses on the development of interventional techniques for fetal and neonatal treatment of congenital heart disease, pulmonary, vascular physiology, and the neurologic impact of open-heart surgery. He developed and pioneered the unifocalization procedure, in which a single procedure is used to repair a complex and life-threatening congenital heart defect rather than several staged open-heart surgeries as performed by other surgeons.

Michael Ma
Assistant Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery (Pediatric Cardiac Surgery)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur lab aims to understand the biomechanics that govern a wide spectrum of congenital heart defects, and how those biomechanics change with contemporary operative repair strategies. We simulate operations virtually via CFD, and in ex vivo and in vivo animal models, and analyze how the changes we make alter fluid flow, pressure, and stresses throughout the system. We hope that these experiments can impact and optimize existing techniques that translate quickly to the operating room.

Shaun P. Setty
Clinical Assistant Professor, Cardiothoracic Surgery
BioDr. Setty is Surgical Director of the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, Director of Global Cardiac Care, and a member of the pediatric cardiac surgery team. Dr. Setty completed his general surgery residency at Oregon Health Sciences University and spent an infolded year during his training at Green Lane Hospital in New Zealand as a research and pediatric/ adult cardiac surgery fellow. He then spent 3 years at the University of Minnesota/ Lillehei Heart Institute, the birthplace of cardiac surgery, completing his cardiothoracic surgery training. He performed his congenital heart surgery fellowship at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. Dr. Setty is triple-board-certified in surgery, thoracic surgery, & congenital heart surgery. He has past experience in all aspects of pediatric and adult congenital cardiac surgery including neonatal and transplant surgery. He is a member of the medical school honor society, Alpha Omega Alpha. Dr. Setty also has numerous peer-reviewed publications, book chapters, and research presentations to his credit.
His current research focus includes: cardiac surgery outcomes with genetic syndromes, social determinants of health and its effect on cardiac surgery outcomes, big data in international cardiac surgery humanitarian centers, and the epigenetic delineation of congenital heart disease.
