    Alexander Tolas

    Clinical Research Coordinator, Medicine - Med/Cardiovascular Medicine

    BioMy research focuses on the scalable measurement and validation of cardiorespiratory fitness and physical activity using wearable and mobile technologies. I am particularly interested in integrating physiological assessment, digital phenotyping, and epidemiologic modeling to improve cardiovascular risk stratification across diverse populations. My work spans device validation, predictive modeling, and translation of exercise physiology metrics into clinically meaningful digital health applications.

  • Jennifer Tremmel

    Susan P. and Riley P. Bechtel Medical Director and Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine)

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Tremmel studies sex differences in cardiovascular disease. Current research projects include evaluating sex differences in coronary pathophysiology, young patients presenting with myocardial infarction, the impact of stress on anginal symptoms, chronic total coronary occlusions, and vascular access site complications.

  • Philip S. Tsao, PhD

    Philip S. Tsao, PhD

    Professor (Research) of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine)

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur primary interests are in the molecular underpinnings of vascular disease as well as assessing disease risk. In addition to targeted investigation of specific signaling molecules, we utilize global genomic analysis to identify gene expression networks and regulatory units. We are particularly interested in the role of microRNAs in gene expression pathways associated with disease.
