Summary

I am a clinician-scientist with clinical expertise in advanced heart failure, ventricular assist devices and heart transplantation. From a clinical perspective, I am one of only approximately 1,000 adult cardiologists in the US board certified in advanced heart failure/heart transplantation. I am currently an Associate Professor of Medicine, Co-Director of the UTSW Senator Paul D. Wellstone Muscular Dystrophy Cooperative Research Center (one of six NIH funded Centers in the country), and the Director for Translational Research for the Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology Program at UTSW. Finally, I have developed clinical expertise in the care of patients who develop a familial or genetic form of cardiomyopathy (esp. neuromuscular-associated cardiomyopathies). In 2010, I founded and became the Medical Director of the UTSW Neuromuscular Cardiomyopathy Clinic. This clinic is only one of six adult clinics in the United States exclusively dedicated to addressing the cardiovascular needs of patients with neuromuscular disorders.

In keeping with my clinical interest in the treatment and management of patients with heart failure, I have developed significant scientific expertise in investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying heart failure and cardiac/skeletal muscle myopathies. In the Fall of 2015, Dr. Eric Olson, Chair of the UTSW Department of Molecular Biology and I became the Co-Directors of the UTSW Senator Paul D. Wellstone Muscular Dystrophy Cooperative Research Center. The core mission of the Center is to rapidly develop genome editing into a viable and effective therapy for patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In addition, I run a NIH R01-funded molecular laboratory focused on mechanistic studies to enhance our understanding of various signaling pathways that contribute to heart failure and cardiac/skeletal muscle myopathies.
