Oscar J. Abilez
Instructor, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Dr. Abilez' interests are aimed at elucidating how various biophysical and biochemical perturbations regulate early cardiovascular development across time and length scales that span several orders of magnitude, using human pluripotent stem cells as a model system.

Kevin Michael Alexander
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine) at the Stanford University Medical Center
Bio Dr. Alexander is an advanced heart failure and transplant cardiologist at Stanford. He is also a member of the Stanford Amyloid Center and Stanford Cardiovascular Institute. He completed his internal medicine residency training at Johns Hopkins Hospital and cardiology fellowship at Brigham and Women?s Hospital/Harvard Medical School. He then finished his training in advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology at Stanford Hospital.
He cares for patients in the clinic and in the hospital with advanced heart failure or those who underwent heart transplantation or mechanical circulatory support. His primary clinical and research interests lie in cardiac amyloidosis, in particular unraveling the molecular determinants of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy to improve the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. -
Myriam Amsallem, MD PhD
Instructor, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
Bio Myriam Amsallem MD PhD is a cardiologist specialized in cardiac imaging. Co-director of the RV analytics group at Stanford and Associate Director of the Clinical Biomarker and Phenotype Core Laboratory (Stanford Cardiovascular Institute), she has an interest in heart failure, cardio immunology and early detection of pulmonary hypertension using imaging, circulating biomarkers and digital health. She is currently working on developing novel noninvasive strategies to detect pulmonary hypertension and heart failure, including deep learning analysis of Doppler signals and 4D flow MRI. She also leads several educational projects to improve the quality of imaging methodology.

Euan A. Ashley
Associate Dean, School of Medicine, Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular), of Genetics, of Biomedical Data Science and, by courtesy, of Pathology at the Stanford University Medical Center
Current Research and Scholarly Interests The Ashley lab is focused on precision medicine. We develop methods for the interpretation of whole genome sequencing data to improve the diagnosis of genetic disease and to personalize the practice of medicine. At the wet bench, we take advantage of cell systems, transgenic models and microsurgical models of disease to prove causality in biological pathways and find targets for therapeutic development.
