Research Focus

My research has a multidisciplinary approach, combining cardiac MRI technology, epidemiological studies, and health equity principles to tackle heart disease challenges unique to women. The goals are to refine diagnostic tools, develop targeted treatments, and ultimately reduce the incidence and impact of heart disease among women, with a particular focus on marginalized and underrepresented communities.
