Tzung K. Hsiai, M.D.,
Ph.D. Professor of Bioengineering, MCIP and Medicine (Cardiology) Office: CHS 37-100G Dr. Hsiai is the Professor of Medicine (Cardiology) and Bioengineering. He received his undergraduate education from Columbia University and his MD from the University of Chicago. He completed his internship, residency and NIH-funded cardiovascular fellowship at UCLA School of Medicine, where he pursued interdisciplinary research in BioMEMS and vascular biology. His group’s research focuses on flexible sensors to study mechano-signal transduction of cardiovascular diseases. His group has developed the quantitative approach to monitor intravascular shear stress and vascular oxidative stress to assess unstable plaque. His transdisciplinary research program has been enriched by collaboration with UCLA Wireless Health Institute, Medical Imaging Informatics, Atherosclerosis Research Unit, Cardiovascular Research Lab, Cellular, Molecular and Developmental Biology, and UCLA Center for Human Nutrition. He is the Chair of the American Physiological Society Joint Meeting with Biomedical Engineering Society, Member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation, Member of National Institutes of Health Bioengineering, Biotechnology, and Surgical Science Study Section, Fellow of American College of Cardiology, American Heart Association, and the recipient of an American Heart Association John J. Simpson Outstanding Research Achievement Award and UCLA SEAS Distinguished Young Alumnus Award. Email: THsiai@mednet.ucla.edu |
