Summary

  • I am a phyisican scientist and heart failure specialist at Washington University in St. Louis.

    My research interests include computational modeling of drug / ion channel interactions, inherited cardiomyopathies, and prediction of pharmacotherapy.

    From a clinical standpoint, I am interested in advanced heart failure therapies, temporary MCS, cardiogenic shock and critical care cardiology.

Research History

  • Cardiovascular Disease Initiative, UN Millennium Villages ProjectCardiovascular disease (CVD) is the second leading cause of death in Africa, and the leading cause of death in those aged 45 or older. This initiative developed a framework for CVD prevention, which acts on a population level as well as an individual level, in a resource-poor setting.2008 - 2011
  • PhD Research, Colleen Clancy, PhD (mentor)My thesis research focused on using experimental function and clinical data to build a theoretical framework to simulate measured properties of drug channel interactions to make predictions about emergent effects of antiarrhythmic drugs on cardiac cells and tissues.2008 - 2011
  • Commonwealth Honors College Research Fellowship and Undergraduate Thesis WorkPaclitaxel is a novel anticancer agent used to treat breast, lung, ovarian, and Kaposi’s sarcoma. My senior thesis studied the effects of adding chemical elicitors to plant cell culture as a way of upregulating the accumulation of both paclitaxel and precursor taxanes in cell culture.2003 - 2006
