    Collapse Overview
    I am a cardiologist and physician-scientist with board certifications in general cardiology and echocardiography. My clinical interest is in inpatient cardiology where I continue to practice.

    Since 2020, my primary appointment has been with Amgen where I focus on leveraging human genetics and basic scientific insights to create clinically meaningful advances in cardiovascular medicine. My research focuses on understanding human cardiovascular disease by studying the genetics and gene regulation underlying these disorders, utilizing technologies such as in vivo genetic and enhancer screens coupled with computational biology.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
