Summary

• Dr. Chad Weldy is a cardiologist and a faculty member (Instructor) within the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine and the Stanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease. He received his M.D. from Duke University School of Medicine and completed his internal medicine internship, residency, and cardiology fellowship at Stanford University as a member of the Stanford Translational Investigator Program (TIP) where he conducted research within the lab of Dr. Thomas Quertermous focused on epigenetics, RNA editing, and genetic mechanisms of disease. Prior to entering medical school, he received his Ph.D. from the University of Washington and completed a postdoctoral fellowship with the University of Washington, Division of Cardiology where he conducted basic science research investigations within the fields of cardiovascular biology, redox biology, toxicology, and epigenetics. Dr. Weldy has a clinical expertise within the field of inherited cardiomyopathies where he treats patients and families within Stanford’s Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease (SCICD). As a physician-scientist, Dr. Weldy works to better understand human genetics, epigenetics, and transcriptional regulation in cardiovascular disease. Dr. Weldy has received funding through an NIH/NHLBI K08 Clinical Scientist Research Career Development Award, an American Heart Association Career Development Award (CDA), an F32 Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Individual Postdoctoral Fellowship award, and an NIH Loan Repayment Award on his work focused on the genetic, epigenetic, and RNA editing mechanisms of vascular disease. Within Stanford, Dr. Weldy has been the recipient of the Gerald Reaven Award for Basic Science from the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, he has been inducted into AOA from the Stanford School of Medicine, and he was the recipient for the Timothy F. Beckett Jr. Award for Best Clinical Teaching from the Department of Medicine.
