Education:
Medical School and Graduate Studies: Universidad Nacional Federico Villarreal, Lima, Peru (1996).
Postdoctoral Training:
Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of California, Irvine (2003-2006).
Research area:
Cardiovascular biomechanics, vascular remodeling, vascular casting, and coronary venous retroperfusion.
Laboratory research and experimental methodologies:
Laboratory research and experimental methodologies:
Most of our experimental procedures are performed on the swine model due to the similarities between human and swine coronary vessels.
