I have a particular interest in oxidative stress and reactive aldehydes such as 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, and in the protective role of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2). This research has been supported by NIH, AHA, and JDRF funding, and has led to over many peer-reviewed publications and presentations at leading national and international meetings. Along the way, I have been honored with awards including the NIH High Priority Short-Term Project Award, Young Investigator Awards from the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute and Heart Failure Society of America, the Early Career Author Award from ISHR/JMCC, multiple best paper awards, and Japan’s prestigious Honors Scholarship during my PhD. I also serve the scientific community as a reviewer for NIH and Department of Defense study sections, the American Heart Association, and more than 20 journals. I am now looking to expand my work beyond the laboratory—exploring AI-enabled solutions and public–private partnerships to create scalable screening strategies for rural and high-risk populations, with a focus on reducing preventable cardiac deaths.
