Research

Area of Focus

My lab is focused on studying adverse cardiovascular effects of common chronic diseases (hypertension, type 2 diabetes, thromboembolic disorders) and optimizing drug therapy to minimize risks of these diseases.

A major focus is on adverse effects of chronic uncontrolled blood pressure (hypertension) and ways to optimize antihypertensive drug therapy to mitigate these adverse effects. I have particular expertise in the area of treatment-resistant hypertension.

Methods

My research spans population and clinical sciences related to cardiovascular disease and its treatment. This includes both observational research, as well as clinical trial work, primarily through my collaboration with colleagues in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine.

I am also interested in research on methods for optimizing use of electronic health record (EHR) data in comparative effectiveness research, including how to minimize misclassification when measuring longitudinal drug exposure from EHR prescribing data, and methods for dealing with missingness in EHR data and biases associated with missing data.
