These research efforts go beyond the standard genetic variant association analyses and include analyses, interpretation, and integration of multi-omic data, construction and validation of polygenic scores, as well as Mendelian randomization, epigenetic association, and gene set enrichment analyses to help identify novel pathways of CHD in diverse populations.

Towards this end, I devote a majority of my time performing advanced population based studies on the genomic causes of heart attacks and the common conditions that predispose people to heart attacks including high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and insulin resistance. My principal research focus since moving to Stanford has been the identification of the genomic determinants of coronary heart disease (CHD) and risk factors of CHD. During my fellowship and Instructorship years at Stanford University, I completed a PhD in Epidemiology and Biostatistics in pharmacoepidemiology once again under Dr. Samy Suissa before moving to Stanford University in 2001 to pursue fellowship training in adult cardiology. I completed my residency in internal medicine as well as a masters degree in Epidemiology and Biostatistics at McGill under the supervision of Dr.

I then pursued training in surgery for nearly two years before switching into internal medicine. I was born and raised in Montreal, Canada, where I received my medical degree from McGill University in 1994. I have been practicing medicine for nearly 30 years and I have >20 years of experience conducting research. I am a board-certified clinical cardiologist with a doctorate degree in Epidemiology & Biostatistics.
