Professor of Surgery (Research)

Overview

 

At Brown University, as a faculty member of the Department of Surgery, Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery I serve as a communicator between the worlds of chemistry, biophysics, applied bioinformatics, and cardiovascular research science. I am introducing the state-of-the-art analytical approaches to the teaching process with the undergraduate, graduate, and the cardiothoracic surgery fellows. As a faculty in the last 20 years I trained more than 70 fellows and students that are presently leaders in education, health care, and science in the U.S.A., Europe, Japan, South Korea, and other counties.

My work is at the interface of theoretical chemistry, biochemistry, and computational biology  to lay the groundwork for precision and gender- specific medicine, deep cardiovascular phenotyping, and next-generation cardiovascular disease therapeutics.

My goal is to protect academic freedom in the Department and the University, in the expression of ideas in the academic community, and in publishing and disseminating scientific work.
