Nezami Lab at Brigham and Women’s Hospital is where cutting-edge computational tools meet translational medicine to revolutionize cardiovascular care. Our team integrates mechanics, bioinformatics, and state-of-the-art engineering to uncover the mechanistic roots of critical valvular and vascular diseases while pioneering novel therapies. Combining in silico modeling with in vitro and in vivo experimentation, we advance precision medicine and medical device innovation. From optimizing prosthetic valves and life support systems to harnessing AI for surgery and diagnostics, our lab spans a dynamic spectrum of cardiovascular applications. Leveraging collaborations with BWH’s pioneering clinicians and unique access to clinical trials, we build robust data-driven tools for risk stratification, predictive modeling, and informed surgical decisions in cardiac surgery and intervention. At the Nezami Lab, we strive to bridge science and patient care, fostering collaboration with clinical experts and industry partners to translate discoveries into lifesaving outcomes.
