After earning her BS in physics from the American University of Beirut in 2005 and her MD in 2009, she won a scholarship from the International Max Planck Research School in Germany, where she concluded her PhD in 2014. She joined an interdisciplinary clinical and basic research program between the Department of Cardiology at the Georg-August University Medical Center and the MPI-ds in Göttingen, Germany for three years before joining the Cardiology Department at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York. She's interested in studying arrhythmia dynamics in inherited cardiomyopathies, focusing currently on modulating the electrical function of monogenetic diseased hearts with targeted gene therapy approaches to prevent fatal cardiac arrhythmia.
