Hi, I'm Alex! I am an M.D. student and Ph.D. candidate in the Medical Scientist Training Program at the University of Iowa.

My primary interest is the genetics of cardiovascular disease, with particular interest in inherited sudden cardiac death. I am conducting my graduate work with Dr. Barry London. My doctoral work examines the genetic basis of sudden cardiac death syndromes in multigenerational families. I use a combination of genetics, molecular biology, and bioinformatics in my research.

I also have interests in cellular electrophysiology, big data, publicly-available data, and reducing repetitive laboratory tasks through programming. To this extent, I have written a number of small programs which aid in data analysis or repetitive laboratory tasks.

If you would like to contact me, please feel free to contact me by e-mail.
