Dr. Latha Palaniappan, has won accolades for her work to uncover and explain differences in heart disease among underrepresented groups, particularly Asian Americans. Her professional interest stems from a deeply personal loss. "My dad died from a heart attack at 39, when I was 13," she said. "I am motivated every day by what happened to my father and my family, and I want to make sure that other families don't experience early heart disease. I find this is particularly devastating to immigrant and minority families." Asian Americans consist of more than 40 ethnicities and speak over 100 languages. Their risks for heart disease and stroke are diverse, too, but health research often lumps Asian American groups together. Dr. Palaniappan is committed to solving these disparities, analyzing national datasets, electronic health records and genetic testing to find patterns in disease risk and outcomes. "By integrating cutting-edge advancements in data science and computing, we can provide uniquely tailored care for each patient and expand the horizons of medical science for everyone."
