Brief description I am an interventional cardiologist whose research program spans from biomedical discovery, to new markers of early cardiovascular disease and clinical trials of new therapy. We are particularly focused on novel strategies to help patients who suffer from heart attack despite having no standard risk factors. I lead a team of cross-disciplinary researchers. A Practitioner Fellowship will help me to achieve international impact against the leading cause of death and disability in our community.
