She is experienced in cardiomyocyte mechanics and in-vivo cardiac functional techniques. Her current work focuses on the study of sex-specific myofilament dysfunction in postmenopausal HFpEF. She earned a medical doctorate (1999), a diploma in anesthesiology (2004), and a diploma in cardiovascular thoracic anesthesia (2007) from Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand, and holds a PhD in physiological sciences from the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson (2014).
