Funded Projects

 

  • An Integrated Approach to Personalized Medicine    
    Role: Principal Investigator (PI) & Grant Writer
    Funding Agency: National Institutes of Health - General Medical Sciences
    Funding Period: September 2014 - August 2018
    Aim: This research project integrates clinical, genomic, cytochrome metabolism phenotype, and metabolomic factors to develop a model that predicts systolic blood pressure decline due to metoprolol.
