Assistant Professor, Cardiovascular & Metabolic Disease
An assistant professor with 9+ years in cardiovascular biology and metabolic disease, covering cardiac hypertrophy, lipid metabolism, and translational cardiology. Has prepared manuscripts targeting Circulation, JACC, European Heart Journal, and Cell Metabolism. Brings experience with the specific data and mechanistic depth expectations at top cardiovascular journals, and strategies for translating basic cardiology findings into clinically-framed narratives that pass editorial triage.
