Get to Know Me

I am a clinical cardiologist and physician-scientist with a board-certification in cardiology and multimodality noninvasive cardiac imaging. My clinical focus is on managing the side effects of cancer therapies on the heart, masses in the heart, including metastasis and clots, and coexisting cardiovascular disease in patients with cancer.

I work closely with a multidisciplinary cancer care team to provide cardiovascular care to patients who are undergoing cancer surgeries, cancer therapies, and radiation therapyas well as provide long-term cardiovascular care for cancer survivors.

My research focuses on studying cardiac metastasis and cardiac side effects from anticancer medications and radiation therapy. To better understand the mechanisms of cardiotoxicity at the genomic level, I use a combination of specialized cardiac imaging tests and translational laboratory research that use a precision medicine platform as well as stem cell derived cells found in the heart and blood vessels.

What I Do at MSK

I'm a cardiologist, which is a doctor with special training in the cardiovascular system (heart and blood vessels).

Disclosures

Members of the MSK Community often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community. These activities outside of MSK further our mission, provide productive collaborations, and promote the practical application of scientific discoveries.

MSK requires doctors, faculty members, and leaders to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public. Not all disclosed interests and relationships present conflicts of interest. MSK reviews all disclosed interests and relationships to assess whether a conflict of interest exists and whether formal COI management is needed.
