BioI am a physician scientist in the Division of Cardiology at Stanford. My clinical interest is at the intersection of inflammation, autoimmunity and cardiovascular disease in a field called 'Cardio-Rheumatology'. Patients with rheumatologic diseases typically have an elevated cardiovascular disease risk profile along with an insidious onset. Moreover, with the ever-expanding biologic drug formulary for patients, it is important for us to characterize the cardiovascular effects of these medications. In my research, I believe that understanding how inflammatory and autoimmune mechanisms modify coronary artery disease can help us develop a novel perspective towards treating atherosclerosis beyond lipid lowering. My research goal is to advance novel therapeutics for atherosclerosis by leveraging my expertise in genetics, computational biology, and experience with diverse model organism perturbation models. My strategy employs a ‘systems’ approach, starting with human population variations at the genetic level and integrating findings across RNA, protein, and model organism studies. This comprehensive synthesis aims to grasp the overarching biological narrative, thereby facilitating the development of translational therapies that transform concepts from bench to bedside.
