Biography
Dr. Rajesh Dash is Co-Director, Falk Cardiovascular MRI Facility. Since 2013 he is Medical & Scientific Director, Stanford South Asian Translational Heart Initiative (SSATHI). He was Chief Cardiology Fellow, UCSF Medical Center during 2006 to 2007.
Research Interest
His research focuses on imaging cell signaling in the heart. He is developing molecular imaging probes that track to injured heart tissue, such that non-invasive imaging techniques, like cardiac MRI, can visualize these probe signals in real-time. The translational goal of his research is to develop new ways to detect early cardiac injury before permanent damage occurs, so that preventive medical therapy can be started.
