Niru is a second year cardiology fellow at Boston Medical Center/Boston University. She earned her MD and graduated cum laude from Boston University School of Medicine. She completed her residency in Internal Medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School and later worked as an attending physician there in the division of Hospital Medicine. She also worked as a clinical scientist at Anumana, Inc., where she focused on study design and validation of AI-ECG algorithms for early diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. Her clinical research concentrated on disparities in outcomes amongst underrepresented populations with advanced heart failure requiring left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). She has an interest in medical device development and plans to pursue an additional fellowship in interventional cardiology. She is excited to bring her blend of clinical expertise and interest in technological innovation to ARTIS.

WHAT IS A HEALTHCARE ADVANCEMENT YOU HOPE TO SEE IN YOUR LIFETIME?

Advancements in personalized medicine, particularly through the use of AI and big data. The analysis of large data sets can provide precise insights to tailor treatments to individual genetic, environmental, and demographic factors. Hopefully this will lead to more effective therapies that can benefit populations that were previously underrepresented in clinical trials.
