I have 23 years of experience, and specialize in the field of genetics and genomics of cardiovascular diseases with specific knowledge in the areas of microarrays and next generation sequencing, stem cells and restenosis. I have published on such topics as atherosclerosis, restenosis and genomic technologies. I have a personal interest in the side effects of MSG, monosodium glutamate, and have considerable personal experience in patents related to stents, restenosis, and genetic testing, especially for cardiovascular related indications. Because I routinely teach these subjects to medical students and graduate students, I have experience in making complex subjects understandable to lay persons.
