Current Research Interests:

We focus on developing advanced imaging techniques to study both cardiac and vascular disease. Since cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and disability in the world, fundamental understanding of heart and vascular disease initiation and progression is necessary to develop the next generation of therapeutics and devices. Non-invasive imaging has become vital for the detection and monitoring of disease progression, aiding in the development of technologies that will positively impact the clinical care of patients.
