Xinwei Hua, PhD, MPH
Dr. Xinwei Hua, a molecular and cardiovascular epidemiologist, focuses on studying the molecular and clinical epidemiology of cardiometabolic diseases. By integrating electronic medical record (EMR) data with molecular profiles, her research involves the identification of novel therapeutical and gut-microbial targets for cardiometabolic disease prevention and treatment, and the development of diagnostic, phenotyping and risk assessment tools for individualized treatment for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
