Dr. Baykaner’s research program focuses on atrial fibrillation (AF), cardio-oncology, and the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning into cardiac electrophysiology. She is Principal Investigator of an NIH R01 investigating atrial fibrillation in patients with hematologic malignancies treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors and previously led an NIH K23 award focused on personalizing AF management using machine learning. She also serves as co-investigator or consultant on multiple NIH-funded R01 projects in artificial intelligence, ventricular arrhythmias, and digital cardiovascular phenotyping. Her work spans AF mechanisms, ablation outcomes, digital health implementation, and equity in arrhythmia care.
She has authored over 200 peer-reviewed publications, book chapters, and abstracts, including more than 100 original research manuscripts, and has delivered over 100 invited lectures nationally and internationally. She served as a task force member for the 2024 EHRA/HRS/APHRS/LAHRS Expert Consensus Statement on Catheter and Surgical Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation and holds editorial leadership roles, including Associate Editor for the Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology and editorial board positions with multiple electrophysiology journals.
Dr. Baykaner is Vice-Chair of the Heart Rhythm Society Digital Education Committee and serves on national program and grant review committees, including NIH/NHLBI study sections. She is actively engaged in mentorship across undergraduate, medical, graduate, and postdoctoral levels, with mentees who have received national awards and progressed to electrophysiology fellowship and faculty positions.
Her clinical practice focuses on catheter ablation of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, supraventricular tachycardias, management of inappropriate sinus tachycardia, cardiac implantable electronic device implantation and extraction, and advanced rhythm management strategies in complex patient populations. -

Philip Beachy
The Ernest and Amelia Gallo Professor, Professor of Urology, of Developmental Biology and, by courtesy, of Chemical and Systems Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsFunction of Hedgehog proteins and other extracellular signals in morphogenesis (pattern formation), in injury repair and regeneration (pattern maintenance). We study how the distribution of such signals is regulated in tissues, how cells perceive and respond to distinct concentrations of signals, and how such signaling pathways arose in evolution. We also study the normal roles of such signals in stem-cell physiology and their abnormal roles in the formation and expansion of cancer stem cells.
