  • Zaniar Ghazizadeh

    Zaniar Ghazizadeh

    Affiliate, Department Funds
    Fellow in Medicine - Med/Cardiovascular Medicine

    BioZaniar is currently a fellow in Clinical Electrophysiology program at Stanford. He completed his Internal Medicine training at Yale School of Medicine and Cardiology fellowship at Stanford. He received his medical degree from Tehran University of Medical Sciences and spent a few years as a post-doctoral fellow at Weill Cornell Medicine and Brigham and Women’s Hospital before his residency. His research interest lies in the development of in vitro and in vivo platforms for studying heart regeneration and precision medicine. Zaniar’s work is focused on identifying the mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias using several experimental systems ranging from genetically engineered animal models to human pluripotent stem cell derived cardiac cell types. His ultimate goal as a clinician-scientist is to utilize this framework for drug discovery and identifying new therapeutic strategies that can prevent or reverse specific arrhythmias.
