Minang (Mintu) Turakhia
Clinical Professor, Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Turakhia has an active clinical research program, with funding from AHA, VA, NIH, the medical device industry, and foundations. His research program aims to improve the treatment of heart rhythm disorders, with an emphasis on atrial fibrillation, by evaluating quality and variation of care, comparative and cost-effectiveness of therapies, and risk prediction. Dr. Turakhia has extensive expertise in using large administrative and claims databases for this work. His TREAT-AF retrospective study of over 500,000 patients with newly-diagnosed AF is the largest known research cohort of AF patients. He has served as study PI or chairman of several prominent single- and multicenter trials in atrial fibrillation, investigational devices for electrophysiology procedures, digital health interventions, and sensor technologies.
His other research interests include technology assessment of new device-based therapies and the impact of changing health policy and reform on the delivery of arrhythmia care. Dr. Turakhia is a Fellow of the American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology, and Heart Rhythm Society. -
Carolyn Turcotte
Postdoctoral Scholar, Developmental Biology
BioHello! I am a postdoc in the Villeneuve lab studying meiotic homolog pairing using an interspecies hybrid model system. I earned my PhD in Genetics and Molecular Biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I worked in Jeff Sekelsky's lab and studied spontaneous meiotic nondisjunction in Drosophila.
