Bio
Dr Aly Elezaby is a cardiology fellow at Stanford University School of Medicine and a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Dr Daria Mochly-Rosen. He attended college at the University of Arizona, where he studied molecular and cellular biology with a research focus on mechanisms of genome instability. He graduated from the MD-PhD program at Boston University, with a dissertation focus on the effects of nutrient excess on mitochondrial function and oxidative stress in the heart. He completed residency training in internal medicine at Stanford as part of the Translational Investigator Program, where he has continued in fellowship training in cardiovascular medicine. His current research focus is on the signaling pathways leading to cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury, with particular focus on the interaction between contractile proteins and mitochondria. He intends to pursue a career studying cardiac metabolism in cardiomyopathy with a clinical focus on advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology.
